The lens he tested the 50AA against is the old pancake 45mm lens, isn't it?

Having said all that, the results for a 40+ year old $100 lens + $3500 body
compared to a new, SOTA $7000 lens + $9000 body is pretty upsetting.

Nikon did pretty well... in fact, for the $12,000 difference in price, the
image results indicate the 50AA + M9m is way overpriced and outclassed on a
value for money equivalent.

This I did not notice, I must say.  I wonder why he didn't spring
~$200 for a 50/1.8 G lens?  It really seems a weird 'comparison' to me.
