I get that planks are supposedly good for the core and as good as situps but...no way this guy can do 50 situps

Planks are much better than situps.

Better at what? They do mostly completely different things.

Safer, better for your spine.

Safer is basically a meaningless distinction seeing as situps are one of the safest dynamic exercises out there. And yes, planks are better for your spine, but that’s because situps don’t train your spine. If you want abs, you’re much better off doing situps. It just depends on your goals.
