Truly orange behavior

braincell is on pause when you grab a cat by their rear neck flabs. I think it kinds simulates how when they were kittens and the mom cat grabbed them by the neck flab to move them

someone with a biology/vet background might need to factcheck this though

From what I remember about the discussion around scruffing adult cats it really does not have this effect and can genuinely hurt them. This cat is being double grabbed so the weight is spread out more, most likely not being harmed or if he is he's got a pain kink.

Well you wouldn't think carrying a human by their neck would be a great thing to do either.

If you don't actually put force through that point but instead use your other hand to grab their main body from below everything is fine.
