How is this better than "background-size: cover;"?

Because 'background-size: cover; only works with IE9+'. This example is not supposed to be best practice or most preferred practice, it is meant to educate people and give an alternative to the one everybody already knows :)

That's not true; you use:

-webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover;

Still only works in IE9+...
