Video is somewhat clickbait. ALL of these have an override of some type for totally dead batteries. It's up to the owner / operator of the unit to have enough smarts to run the thing properly. (i.e. read the directions).
The video title, "Why These Are Failing" suggests there is something wrong with them. There isn't. Only possibly with the operator. The units themselves are fine, and work exactly as intended.

I also react negatively to clickbaity thumbnails and titles, and you're right - this title doesn't accurately point to the problem of user error.
In fairness to this channel, he does actually cover information of value. The override buttons on these booster packs are often poorly labelled, to the point that one really does need the manual in some cases to figure out how to engage the override function.
I have a Gooloo one - the boost button is the one to press when you’re dealing with a dead battery, and it’s a waiting game. Tried on a Navigator, didn’t work. I’ve saved two people - small cars though(Civic and Insight).
These new Li-Ion jump packs pack a pinch compared to the old lead-acid ones but most of them are made in China and use thin wiring or cheap cells.
