The point of the video was that when using the device as the authenticator, attestation reveals details of the phone (such as the unique private key used to prove the phone is valid to a manufacturer). The anonymous attestation authority here allows Apple to be assert to the qualities of the device without the device having to reveal identifiers externally.
This is akin to a batch of identifiers the size of all Apple products, while still allowing the device owner (or Apple) to disavow a particular device if it is lost or stolen.
The implementation also ensures that the same device creating multiple identities for the same website will have no signing characteristics linking one account to the other.
