Yeah, but why is he sitting on it? And not just putting it behind the seat?

Not sure who told you that ? I frequently wore them in my Mk1 966 GT3 Clubsport and my 996 GT3 RS whilst driving them on the road in the UK.
I've not seen the presenter of the video before, but he comes across as a complete amateur, mostly spouting lots of subjective generalisations (and doing his best to perpetuate the myth the GT2 is tricky to drive and only fun in a straight line)

The presenter is Lee Sibley, the editor of Total 911. Like every magazine review of the 996 GT cars I've ever seen, there is absolutely no appreciation by journalists of the finer points of these cars. They all whitter on about the steering making the car dart about & "hunt cambers", how the car is a handful etc. I bet none of them has ever driven a car that has had its diff in perfect condition & the geometry carefully set up using the Kussmaul settings (or something close). Except among us enthusiast owners, there is pretty much zero appreciation of how sensitive the chassis is to correct setup & I suspect many cars have been bought & quickly sold again when the owners thought it was the car at fault not the setup. This is how the myths start & are perpetuated; I feel the magazines are responsible for much of the mis-information out there.
