If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.

Why is this lengthy process preferable to using ublock on Firefox?

    It isn't. But there are situations where that isn't an option, like being on a work or government computer where downloading firefox or installing an extension will get you fired. When that's the case, YouTube+Bing is a "good enough"/"better than nothing" option.
