KTA tests 'Street Fighter' style Taekwondo - WTM

Anyone seen this yet? Couldn't find a relevant enough thread so here we are?

I've always liked the idea of this type of sparring since e-hogu became a thing.
In this competition, it seems a little too sensitive to me, but it's hard to say without seeing a full match.

I would think this style competition would encourage people to be a bit more conservative and defensive, but these athletes seem to be going for it (though it is only highlights)

What are your thoughts on this format? Do you have a better idea or improvements?

I also like this because casual viewers can easily understand.
No confusion on why something is 4 points vs 2 points for those with no background in WT
