They do actually explain why it works in that article (thanks for the link btw!)

But I can’t imagine thinking that up, understanding it is tricky enough

Ahhh I didn't read the very end of it lol. Yeah, but the math is definitely obscure. Like who even thought of the idea of reading a single precision IEEE 754 binary number as a binary integer? That's like reading a German book even though you can only read English, and yet by the end of the book, everything somehow still makes sense.
