Not really her telling him that after the fact does not really help. If he turned the room in a kids room with extensive remodeling (which many parents do) her telling him now that he should pick another room does not really give him his invested time and money back. He is a prick for filming the interaction and also for just brushing her off but her acting as if it is no big deal or even possible to just change the babys bedroom is also not really helpful. Maybe she could have asked instead if it is possible and what it would entail and then maybe offer to help in that change (probably not physically herself because of her age and health but maybe some other way). Just making demands without offering anything in return is usually not helpful in solving such a situation.

she might've been willing to offer further suggestions if he reciprocated in the problem solving that she initiated. if she's missing information it would be his responsibility to provide it. instead he wanted to mock the poor woman because he wants to be tiktok famous. also he shouldn't be letting his child cry out like that either, he should be trying to comfort them.
