Lots of things need to go into already boiling water to cook properly. Pasta for one. Depending on the rice and the texture you're going for, that can be better cooked by adding it to already boiling water. This is the same thing as preheating your frying pan or oven.

Why would he need to film it then? Water by itself doesn't boil over.

He watched TV. It's easy to miss the time while doing something engaging, by a lot, up to tens of minutes. So he dropped a facetime window over his TV screen, I guess? Or onto another phone he has at hand?

I think that he did that post because it's silly and didn't put more effort than it needs.
