Easier to get power out of a big engine. And a big torquey engine is better than a small high winding engine. More torque = more average power = better overall performance.
And I think his use of 'high rpm' was a bit relative. He's talking about an engine developed for heavy duty pickups. It makes peak power a little over 5000 rpm. Reworking that engine into a high performance car engine where it peaks somewhere between 6 and 6.5 thousand would be 'high rpm' on that engine, but still fairly modest in the realm of performance engines.
