Maybe a hard squeeze applies some kind of sideways-torquing force to the caliper?
I thought he loosened them up again before the second spin? Not sure what this accomplishes either. Maybe if the rotor is a little warped it lets the caliper float around a little and find the best average center or something. Doing it a few times maybe just helps work out any dirt and stickiness that would impede the process? He did a similar thing with the pistons earlier in the video.
