... I mean, just mill the whole block!... How come it was doing multiple times seemingly the same operation with different tools? Can't just use one once and for all?

Lol. My first thought was this is impressive and not at the same time. My guess is, based on doing ports like this before, is half of those tools are roughers, the other half are finishers. You also might have to do some of the features in orders that don't look efficient but keep the burs down. I didn't see any deburing in this process so I'm guessing it's down somewhere else.

Some seemingly identical operations are for roughing or semi-finishing or finishing, you may need to arrange your cutting sequence optimally based on your workpiece feature ,material ,machine, fixture...etc For example , at 1:10, he would like to use helical interpolation for the pre-drill hole ,instead of a customized step indexable drill opener, maybe he is concerning the chip evacuation of the step drill, or the rigidity of the workpiece structure ,or the fixture rigidity. then the solid carbide endmill helical cutting is the optimal choice.
