It's impressive, but it matters less at lower elo rankings. It would be more noteworthy if it were against high-ranked players.
Actually it's the opposite. 2 high end players could never checkmate the other that quickly. Why? Because they are high end players and it's not possible to checkmate one under that short of time. I'm still holding at 13 seconds. Somebody beat my record so I can let this go. It took me years to play this fast. 16 moves in 13 seconds to mate! Chewed up and spit out.

The reason a fast checkmate is more impressive at high Elo is because it’s so rare. At low Elo, quick checkmates happen because of mistakes, but at high Elo, they happen because of sheer skill. If a titled player got checkmated in 13 seconds, it would be a historic moment in chess. That’s why speed against strong opposition is more impressive than speed against someone likely to blunder.

My question is why would a 1400 player whip his bishop out like that while his queen is threatened? He plays like a 900 player or he was drunk during the game.

It's a speed chess tactic at the highest level especially in bullet many people just play these tricks if your premoving your lost but if your not you lose so it's a 50-50 either you lose or win. It's very common at high levels even in the elite levels I have lost many games like this always feels nice to win but sucks to lose 😞.
