How is this different from Wikipedia’s own “random article” feature?

Your question doesn’t quite make sense.

It sounds like you’re suggesting the two web pages are identical, just on different domains, but they’re obviously completely different.

A better way to phrase your question would be: "Why would a TikTok-style (infinite scrolling) website for browsing Wikipedia articles appeal to today’s internet users?"

The question is fine; once you stop interpreting the words literally, you can clearly infer the question to be about substance rather than numerical identity.
