Let me rephrase my question. Why did the last pilot not land the damn plane?

If you notice the yellow sock just as they cross the asphalt, there's zero wind, you normally have a headwind on landing. Without that, you're probably adding power to keep from stall. I actually thought they had it down, not sure if first wheel touch was really so long or just compressed video frames. At this point one of two things happen. Pilot thinks it's too hard and pulls up (what they think is a little), or they've been adding too much power due to lack of wind. Either way - The plane wants to lift. This puts you in a feedback loop bouncing along the runway, and every second passing with wheels not on the ground is a lack of friction from the ground and a lack of braking through the wheels. (When you're airborne the only way to slow down is pull up and pushing the nose to the runway speeds you up horizontally). I am in no way a real pilot, but that 2nd bounce would've made me go full power and try to get airborne, stable and safe again to try again. You've not lost nearly enough speed and half the runway is behind you now. If you missed the boat, don't try to jump on, you'll end up in water. With respect to this and other pilots who have found the same dilemma. This is a surprisingly easy trick your brain can play on you. If you're quick to react and ever had an overriding notion from your brain, you might've done the warner brother's classic "Running in two different directions at once" dance. Or if you've ever been in the shower and done the Hot-Cold-Hot cold dance, because you didn't wait for feedback before inputs changes. Now I know in this day and age, a few paragraphs from some dude waffling on at length making a meal out of a simple question is easily mockable. I also doubt I'm saving you from any plane crash any time soon. But if I've saved you from a shower burn, or from dislocating your shoulder whilst trying to turn out a light and changing directions at speed......... Then my work here is done!
