Doesn't remove all the dirt like a sponge does. Certainly doesn't from my car.
My jet wash is going no where near my bikes, absolutely no need. Taking a hammer to crack a nut. I only ever use a hose if the MTB is caked in mud, then I sponge it.

I must admit there are lots of people who get worked up about using pressure washer because of the threat of stripping bearings, but they are extremely directional. Very easy to avoid the risky areas

Fine, I rinse mine with the jet wash, this removes the majority of the grit, I also use a TFR, I then use a sponge and rinse again eith thr jet wash, and dry etc.
I have proper facilities at for washing of cars bikes etc. So no fathing about getting stuff out.
I am not saying your way is wrong and hopefully you use two buckets with grit guards.
There is more than one way to crack a nut.

It's also a pain in the ar$e getting the jet wash out, plugging it in, then putting it away.
Not with a set up like mine it is not.

Your favoured video just happened to include an S-Works?
I would be more surprised if it didn't

I have Crud Road Racers on my Basso and (as many people complain about) there isn't much clearance between them and they tyres so it is important to clean underneath them after mucky rides or they soon become horribly clogged. This is something you really need to use a hose pipe, pressure washer, or garden sprayer to do, otherwise you'd need to take the guards off every time - a sponge isn't going to help you on that job!
