The problem with your theory is that the plate is clearly marked, and fully visible in the video. This was just a drill. Nobody is intended to be deceived.
These plates exist because they are the same height (diameter) as any standard metal plate, and so allow the bar to start from the same shin position as a heavier plate. They are this thick because when you make these weighted plates at this height out of heavier materials, they are very thin (like these), and tend not to hold up well to being dropped (which is how you get the weights to the floor when doing Olympic lifts). The thicker plate allows the impact to be spread over the surface, and maintains the integrity of the plate over time.
