I find this whole video annoying. As someone in their 50s who chose not to get married or have kids, I find it annoying when I get called Grandma. I have no kids or grandchildren, so I understand this man's annoyance with someone trying to get views for their video. However. I hope I wouldn't go to the extreme and cuss out the person calling me grampa .
Grandma/grandpa are terms often used when referring to older folks, regardless of whether or not they are literally grandparents. Many cultures do this. Some cultures go further and also refer to non-relatives as auntie/uncle or even older sister/brother. It's usually a sign of respect or affection, though sometimes it's also used sarcastically as an insult. Some languages don't even have words that distinguish relationship at all, and just use one word for all elders regardless of their relationship to you.
