That's a great video. I sure hated that back when I road my scooter. It was very sensitive to that.
Mind, even though it's explained, doesn't make it feel any better.
just relax and don't fight it.
The best option is to find roads with lots of grooves and ride them and ride them and ride them some more until you can relax riding it and not let it bug you.
If you let it bug you it is at least a distraction that is distracting you from being aware of all the traffic and other risks around you and that distraction is not safe.
If it makes you anxious, you will ride stiff and tht makes all your control inputs exaggerated and stiff... also not good.

Grooves in the wind, really makes you feel like you are along for a ride!

Don't blame you. Helmet, gloves, spine/chest protector, short sleeves (I'll own it), boots and riding pants.

How come no one cares what's on the speedo?

Should have covered those deep groves that are a cars tire width and start from one lane and slowly crosses to others. The ones that jerk your handle bar. I remember hitting one of those the very first time I got on the highway. My whole bike wiggled and I thought I was going to die for sure, lol.

could just wheelie over the grooves?

Yeah, I really hate those pavement seams that run diagonal to the lanes. Hard to be sure if there's a ridge there or not until you hit it . . .
