You made a tutorial without totally understanding what it does?
IT MAKES IT MORE SECURE THAN USING PLAIN TEXT PASSWORDS.
RSA keys are REALLY HARD TO CRACK. (Takes billions of years for a normal PC to bruteforce it)
setting PermitRootLogin to without-passwords sets OpenSSH to allow remote root logins but only with ssh keys and blocks login attempts that use plain text passwords.
This could be quite inconvenient if you always use different or change devices. Or if you want to connect from your school or a computer shop.
