I got to look at the video tonight. It shows an ideal of dairy cows being treated well. I am sure it sometimes happens that way. Although they do gloss over the fact that the calves are removed in two days.
Sadly we know about factory farming and most cows are not living the "ideal". The videos from that source are not meant to be controversial. So they do show the nicer side of everything. I think they are more trying to explain where milk comes from. If they showed a full factory farm they would probably scare the viewers off of milk forever.
I do think they have gone too far in breeding for big udders. It can't be too comfortable for the cow.
