A bone crushing advantage. Most of your videos I have seen do not show true traps. All I see are mistakes for both sides in some cases. Traditional traps are more like leaving a poisoned pawn for your opponent and such. The Kostic trap for instance.
Yes; I've always played 4.Qe2 here and have won about every game that I can remember (obviously not too difficult of an opponent if he plays Nxe4 immediately). And you're also right on this "trap" argument. If you have to play inferior moves just to bait the "trap", a good player will make you pay for them. It's much better to open with sound principles than to hope for a bad move on your opponent's part.
This video is not about the move order but the tactic which can also be reached in different ways. For example 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Qe7 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d3 Nc3+
3...Qe7 is a playable but not the best line for Black.
and btw this video is quite old. Check out some of the newer ones I made them with more detailed analysis
although 2...nxe4 isnt a great move, this same idea can occur if black plays good moves, via 1 e4 e5 2 nf3 nf6 3 d4 nxe4 5. bd3 d5 6. nxf7 Qe7!

When Knight captures F7, Black Queen should go F6, threatening Mate

A good trap but I wouldn't encourage others to play that line for black. I think there is a trap on the white side instead of Nxf7
