Music theory question?

So, I was watching a video on the computer generated beats that newer songs tend to use. The guy in the video was discussing how using drum tracks takes away actual musical talent. BESIDES THAT....He also went on in the video to say this...”I understand that all music that has 4 beats in a measure, is going to emphasis beats 2 and 4”. My question is what does he mean by that? Why would they emphasize beats 2,4 and not let’s say 1,3? Here is the image from the video, I cannot make sense of it? Thanks for the help!

I prefer the music from musicians that play and create music with instruments, then use those digital things to record them. An example is a Guy called FKJ.
I respect and admire his talent.
Being someone that learned to play the piano, recorder and saxophone as a child I can't really stress enough how much dedication and life that is breathed into an instrument, it's just not the same with these preset beats.
From what little I know, the style of the music is what determines which beats are emphasized. Most modern music emphasizes the upbeat, I believe
