In the handful of CS:GO/Apex competition videos I watched, none featured such extreme arm movements. I also asked my hardcore gaming teen nephew if he "arm aims" and he was not familiar at all. His exact reply was "you mean aim with your whole arm lol?"

That clip is definitely an extreme example, something like below as a hybrid example diving into arm aim and wrist aim is more typical. trouble is having your sensitivity low enough for fine motions, while still being able to do large movements like a 180 fairly easily/without having to lift and recenter, both of which depend on personal preference. Depends a bit on the game too.

I do a lot of work in pro level eSports, and while that video is a little extreme, full arm movement for aiming (especially for awpers/snipers) is normal.
