They should have rotated the exact same tyres on the same car to illustrate this properly.
One reason to put the best tyres at the rear though, is tyre age.
On front wheel drive vehicles, tyre wear is so low on the rear that the tyre simply becomes too old, the rubber starts cracking and stiffens up.
