Unrelated if he used the DOSBox built-in OS which is in no way DOS or compatible. And he did use it at least for installing or displaying the Windows directory (first few pictures). I wonder whether it runs Windows 3.x well.

More DOSBox users only means more DOS game users, as long as the DOSBox user doesn't run a real DOS inside DOSBox.
