Now don't get me wrong, there is a huge difference between physically throwing the kick in practice and in actual use setting up an opening, timing it right, and connecting with that accuracy. The most impressive part isn't the kick, but in the following interview how he described reading his opponent and baiting him into opening up so he could throw that thing. Things like that are what make someone a real fighter. There is a clear distinction between him and what I can do lol

I hear what you are trying to say to a point lol.
Spinning kicks require serious balance and hip usage to be effect. While most people with basic training and good flexibility can throw it, to even land it requires serious skill. Timing and speed on these types of kicks is incredibly difficult. There are only a handful of people in the world that can execute them like that. This kid is no joke. His raw talent is off the charts.
