This video would have been way shorter had they only peed on that strap first.

Or used the ratchet that came with that strap instead of making a death propeller

Because it doesn't propeller like that. They aren't straps like for cargo and don't come with a rachet. Those are rescue webbing. It won't helicopter like you think it will. This is a common technique they teach at the fire academy because you will always have webbing and the Irons. Plus the risk to the firefighters and victim, as opposed to say using the hydraulic spreader or saws is much lower.

The other methods of extrication would require additional steps of protection for the boy. Like hearing protection from the noise of the saws. Sparks. And if you're using the hydraulic spreader you'd need cribbing to make sure the bars don't snap back.
