As a stair builder for 55 years, I take the codes as a design tool. I believe in the video you miss quoted the headroom at the landing with regards to the slope line measured vertically connecting the tread or landing platform nosing in the middle of their widths AQ104.2.1.2. You also might want to reread AQ4.2.1.3 again. The tread depth shall be 1) 20″ minus 4/3 of the riser height, not 3/4; the riser height shall be 2) 15″ minus 3/4 of the tread depth. Nor did you cover the width of the stairway AQ104.2.1.1 or guards AQ104.2.1.6. Please if you are going to give information to the public it should be presented complete and correctly. What does the DOT have to do with building Code under the ICC?
Looks like he downloaded and incorrect copy of the code. Another commentator on youtube pointed it out too. He should hopefully redo the video soon.
