I did watch it further and that statement is quite a bit into the video already.

well, truth is it’s cool to be a pirate 😅

Other than their frilly shirts, I am not a fan!

No, it doesn’t. But you stopped watching the video.
That said, it is a legitimate argument. Just like “it’s cool to be Spider-man” is a reason to pick up Insomniac’s recent games.
SkillUp argues that in a vacuum, and for a reduced price, Skull and Bones is a decently functional game. But it doesn’t exist in a vacuum and Black Flag is better in (almost) every way.

No offense but maybe you didn’t pay close enough attention, since I got all of that but it relies on what I said for it to be true wholly.
The video starts with him stating that objectively the game, in context of its development is a complete mess.
The he stated that he found he was e joying the 20 hours he spent with the game and asked himself why?
Then he stated factually that the game was fun because it is just flat out cool to be a pirate.
He described the things he thought were cool about being a pirate all of which I found to be lame.
Then he used those lame pirate things to justify the argument that in a vacuum the game isn’t bad.

It’s a reasonable argument. Perhaps my initial comment was a bit mean.
What I find difficult is that it is a pirate game, very clearly. If you don’t enjoy the pirate theme, what were you expecting to get from a review like such?
Perhaps you’re a fan of naval combat. Which, fair.
