Also, the clutch linkage was mechanical and the parts were subject to wear .... thus requiring occasional adjustment. Modern hydraulic clutch systems are more forgiving.

That's my take ........

This is true. An hydraulic clutch system self-adjusts for wear.

What is described in the video just adjusts the pedal position. Since most people learn how far they have to push the pedal in to shift without crunching they do not push it all the way to the floor. I guess if someone does this adjustment might help.
