I do think it makes some sense to reach for the AR-15. It is designed to be ergonomic

100% agree.

nor is it really a fair comparison to say its a supercar vs a normal car.

This was only in reference to handing someone a ATF-defined machinegun, not about AR-15s. I completely missed the video embed (I think my tired brain just registered it as an image), and I was going off the picture where they are holding the open-bolt smg-like gun, which I assumed was a transferrable mg given the rest of what they said.

That tracks. I didn't really examine that picture and I totally see it now.
