He left out a first step in that video. He does not mention it, but he is command-option-r booted to Internet Recovery when the video starts.... then do the Terminal commands.
Got a tip for us?

So, I then restarted the macbook in Recovery mode again (Option-Command-R). I entered English as the language and went to Terminal from the drop down at the top of the screen. I then repeated the instructions from the video and got the following screen. I took three photos to show the entire list.
It looks disk0s2 is contained within Container disk 2 and I don't see a disk1.

I then followed the video instructions and copied the Container disk2 info (BD9F**************) and wrote "diskutil apfs deleteContainer BD9F**********". I then got the following screen. See photo.
I am at a loss as to what you’re trying to accomplish. A good job following the instructions I posted. Your Mac was working fine, it certainly appeared.
You cannot “delete APFS” and there is no reason you should. I haven’t reviewed the YouTube video, but that seems seriously misguided. I have no idea what some random video is telling you to do. What problem made you dig up the video to begin with?
If you want a working Mac on Monterey, you might need to go back and follow my post again. That’s about all i can recommend.
