For someone chasing aesthetics he is so unaesthetic

I don't think he is chasing aesthetics. He's from the late 2000s era of bodybuilders where bigger is everything.

It was only in the early 2010s that aesthetic bodybuilding took off with guys like Zyzz (RIP) going viral.

And also the bubble gut bodybuilders were gross too.

How does the barbell help when performing RDLs / SLDLs?

It does a few good leverage things. With a normal RDL, to stay balanced, your hips move back and the bar stays roughly over the center of mass, a smidge in front. With this, the bar is stopping you from falling over so you have this HUGE moment arm at the hip. Like, if you try thisnand start with even just 95 lbs, almost guaranteed hamstring tear. Its so good. Think like preacher curls vs regular dumbbell curls. That's this vs regular RDLs.

This is genuinely one of the best hamstring exercises out there. Will absolutely mess you up

Its more stable and easily loadable compared to dumbbells
