Potential reasons to use inline styles are explained in the video:

But inline styles may come in handy when creating quick HTML and CSS mockups. Or, if we're in a pinch, we can use the inline style method for debugging purposes or writing temporary fixes.

He is making an example what web developers had to do to give their website a presentation like text color and etc, before the release of html4 and to give you a view and guide how that works as well.

and what Steven Parker said it can be used for temporary fixes and for quick HTML and CSS mockups. where you can use inline style method for debugging or writing temporarily is not the best option but it can help to see some quick CSS on your website.
