So, if cameras have poor dynamic range, how are they getting away with a single exposure? They didn't explain that at all...

Human vision has around 20 stops of static dynamic range. Modern digital cameras can't match human vision— a $90,000 Arri Alexa boasts 17 stops— but they're way better than SDR screens.
