It is a ridiculous, dangerous marketing ploy.

You've misinterpreted the videos. Video 1 shows the 5000SLX lifting 5320lbs using the stock 5000SLX hydraulic unit (you can see it in the video). Once the lift is resting on it's safety catches, they load it up with more weight to show the safety factor of the frame and safety catches. The hydraulics have nothing to do with it at that point.
Video 2 shows that when connected to a high pressure hydraulic unit, the 5000SLX hydraulic cylinder/pressure system on the frame can survive lifting 20,500lbs.
