I agree with you about Cat 3 conditions, but the discussed video was made in good weather conditions. And the discussed EK takeoff was performed in CAVOK.
Ok, we can say that the FO on the video was training herself for LWO takeoff... but, honestly, this looks like normal practice. Flight accidents rarely happen "out of the blue" - usually there are certain prerequisites for them.
