Think of the list as a collection of impressions on a fairly casual level. Like sure, you can create everything without packages in LaTeX, but would an average user really want their headers and footers done like that? It's also important to note that all considered is about the default state of both typesetting systems, so the state you're met with when you launch your editor of choice. I came across the listed items over time, but I might still be able to find their particular sources if you're interested, though the code snippets are my own creations. I also touched upon the wishlist from the first posted video. For the most part, I avoided discussing planned features, the prime example being lack of PDF embedding which is now said to arrive sooner than expected.
I strongly encourage you to visit Guide for LaTeX users, as quickly shown at 1:44. There, you will find a concise comparison of Typst to LaTeX which this video aimed not to be. Anyhow, I have come to a realisation that quite a few points made here are listed in the article.
All in all, you should be able to get used to Typst's design principles sooner or later.
Clarification:
At 4:35: the LaTeX code snippet requires `amsmath` package to run.
At 7:33: I simplified Typst's table conditional formatting example. Instead of checking the contents of each cell as with the LaTeX example, I just let their contents be variables through which the cells are then coloured. As it turns out, you can't change the table cells' fill after it's already been created. But I specifically chose the shown approach in Typst because I couldn't get it to run as expected with `tabularray`'s `\SetCell{}` command. Anyway, if we really want to stick to having all our initial table cells as `[content]`, so that it's similar to the way done in LaTeX, then the solution does get more complicated. Specifically for colouring the cells' background, not merely the text colour/style that you would achieve with a show rule `# show table.cell.where(body: [...]): set text(...)`. See "heatmap table conditional formatting" on the Typst Forum.
At 8:05: Typst will have more export options in the future, for example HTML.
At 8:55: the rectangles were used for Typst's grid to represent the images from LaTeX. Otherwise, if you're looking to add a background fill to your grid cells, you should use `grid.cell()` instead of `rect()`.
