What this video covers

A design system is the single source of truth for an interface: the design tokens, reusable components and written guidelines that let many people build a consistent product quickly. Define something once, use it everywhere, change it in one place.

You moved one control and the button, the tag and the card all changed together - because they read from the same source, not from copies. That is the payoff: the consistency comes for free, and a change lands everywhere at once.
