I think that it should be noted that there is a reverse crescent kick that does pivot the foot and torso equally versus the back spin kick which he is emphasizing to make certain you lean to allow the kicking leg to raise it easier. Fundamentally, you should look at your target for the best result so he breaks it down very well for students to understand. Well done.

"I think it should be noted" sounds like Suzuki sensei did not note this, but he says for example at 5:56 that there are competitors that turn the torso and foot at the same time, resulting in a closer range kick. He then goes on to mention reasons why (other than the snappiness obtained from winding yourself up before releasing the kick already mentioned) he prefers to wind up: you get more range and your heel, rather than the side of your foot, makes the strike meaning that your lower leg can curl around behind the opponent's guard.
