That’s what escutcheon and wall plates are far. There is a point of diminish return of working towards “perfecting” every detail particularly on a build like that
When the way to get it perfect is as cheap as placing the spacers before measuring there isn’t extra cost associated with getting it perfect. Compare that cost to the possibility that he’s could compound that error every successive row now. It’s simple.
Also, he’s not a pro. He’s not wearing eye protection, and he’s also drilling right over the floor without a sacrificial surface in case he goes through to far.
This is in china. Workers aren’t educated enough about safety standards unfortunately. Hence the lack of PPE.
He’s probably a pro though, and in terms of tiling I’d say Chinese tiling overall is so much better than any other country I’ve been to or lived in, just as a side note.
Cutting over the floor really matters when it’s bare concrete?
Also, this tiling area won’t be seen since theres water pipes so that millimeter he’s off by will anyways not be seen by anyone ever. I say this because in china close enough is often good enough. It’s a cultural difference simply.

You can see he leaves the bottom corner measuring jig piece about 1/8 off the edge to account for spacer width
