Yeah, I watched. He is being disingenuous in his argumentation. But, he knows that. One thing very early on in the interview he says the Knots camp is saying "Can't devs do something?"

This is an obvious mischaracterization because literally the devs are doing something about it that he doesn't like. The Knots devs are using filters and a limited OP_RETURN to "do something"

This is just one of many linguistic slight of hands he does. He is fairly charismatic so it may be difficult to catch if you just take him at his word.
