I wonder what alloy of titanium they are using - CP2 which is fairly soft and engraves easily or something like 6Al4V which is very tough and much stronger. The video makes it look like it is almost impossible to use - maybe more than it actually is.

Fred, in my opinion this is a good promo video on Titanium, pointing to customers not that much at manufacturers.
So exaggerating a bit how difficult it is make sense.
It would be stupid to tell the world making things out of Ti is piece of cake.
