If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.
Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.
SponsorBlock does not change anything about the money they get from sponsorships. So no, that does not help them more than otherwise.
YouTube creators can see the view rate for each section of the video, I'd be surprised if sponsors didn't ask for that data (if just to know the viewer retention for sponsor segments at the beginning vs end of the video)
They talked about it in the WAN show and they do not share that data as of a few months ago.
I'm pretty sure it does, they do see how many people play the segment.

They way I uderstand your comment, LTT is big enought so as to negotiate contracts with sponsor without being forced to share the metric related to the performance of the sponsored segment.
I doubt that's true for many creators.
