A couple of things to note video is terrible at showing:
Accuracy, repeatability and grade of aluminium.

I have no doubt you can force aluminum into a drill press with an X/Y table as well and it will cut. Eventually the drill press will fail from that but I know folks do it. Some even toss the drill presses and replace them because the presses are -that- cheap they are literally disposable.
