I switched to a tiling WM about a year ago, and I went through most of the things he mentions in that video, but I'd say it was likely due to the fact that I had been using regular desktop environments for about 25 years, so everything was completely new to me. These days I don't need to fiddle with my WM configuration, and I have all the other things (launcher, media controls, keyboard layouts) set up nicely too. I can just boot my system and start using it. It works exactly the way I want it to, and if there's something that doesn't work quite right I have direct access to the source code of the WM. A while back I had trouble with a volume widget that didn't work properly when using PipeWire, so I just went and fixed it myself. I rarely have to venture out into Windowsland, but when I do I feel incredibly clumsy and slow, which is quite frankly weird after such a short amount of time using a tiling WM. They're definitely not for everybody, but for me it has been a fascinating experience.
