Technical video, and interesting if you've ever wondered about some of the constraints game developers used to work with with some older hardware.

The fuck do they mean STILL made like it's somehow impossible to code

They mean it in the sense of new, hombrew NES games as I understand it, instead of new games that mimic the NES style

Why would those homebrew game developers be unable to do what programmers did back then? It is not even as if games back then had huge teams like they do today.

No reason really, and the video doesn't suggest they'd be unable to. Its title is doing that regular clickbaity style of YouTube, but the content itself is interesting if you wondered what went into making these small games, and how some grew in size later in the NES' existence as more was added to cartridges to enable more involved games.
