>But why do so many of his strokes look grayish?
Because Sakamoto draws way zoomed-out (at 25%). The view basically synthesizes the black pixels into the gray strokes you see in the video but they're still solid black pixels.
It's just an illusion, similar to how manga tones are literally just hard black dots, but from a distance they look like tones of gray.

>transparency doesn't really work in monochrome layers, does it?
Yes it does.
