In the first 90 seconds, the narration refers to "the insane 19th century electronics that made color possible", but is referring to the 1900s, which were the 20th century.

The video contains no insight at all into "why" color TV was so difficult. It just lists and describes a few key advancements.

Also the "invention" of color TV is very different from the commercialization.

Very common for this format. It looks and sounds like something of substance on the surface, but ultimately it's just going through the motions and droning on to fill 10 minutes. Like a high-schooler with an assignment to give a presentation on some topic, but with higher production quality.

It does not have to be coherent, because it's entertainment, closer to a sitcom than educuation. If you think about it too hard you'll ruin it for yourself.

Before you blame YouTube and AI though, have a look at what documentaries on TV are and used to be like. With few exceptions they're not much better.

I disagree. I think the video clearly described the challenge, somewhere in the middle of the video, as sending TV signals that both BW and color TV sets could decode, and went on to explain how that challenge was solved by "inventing" separate Luma and Chroma signals. Did I miss something?
