The explanation is in this YouTube video:
While a couple of those moves are rare, happening zero out of 342 billion times, it seems like they would be tied with the 30% of moves never seen. Also at zero.
It's hard to say how many of those 114 billion moves never seen are checkmate, but it's probably a lot. Which is to say that all of the rare checkmates that people have suggested so far are not the rarest. Because they have happened at least once.

Honestly, to me, I think promotion to knight checkmate or pawn checkmate is the rarest.

But as we have just seen, from the video, it's not. Not even close to the rarest.
