They did it on GingerGM rather than Chessable so as to do less work and avoid the inevitable forum reviews?
Isn't there already a fairly recent one on Chessable by Plichta? They may not have wanted a second one so soon and so he thought he could expand his GingerGM video range - there may be an opportunity to do it for Chessable later as he did with the Jobava stuff. A lot of his Chessable products have been done elsewhere first.
In the free video William's mentions that it is based on his own repertoire. He also plugs GChess too which has only just launched.
There is, and Plichta covers 3.h4 as well, so some real overlap here. Was thinking of getting the Killer Tromp course, too as its an opening close to my heart. Palliser is an excellent author, so as long as he is providing the core analysis then I'll have confidence in it. Without Palliser's name attached to it, I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
Regarding, 1.d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 Ne4 3. h4 d5 4.Nd2 c5! Plichta also does not cover this (I have his course, too).
Looking in Lichess I did find the below game, but whether this is recommended in the course is another matter. It quickly went downhill for White mainly due to 8.Bxf6, whereas 8.Bb5+ would have been fine.

So he is definitely aware of the line, so no excuse to not analyze it in his course.
