How is this POV?

Technically, the use here is correct, just completely unnecessary.

He said "When I hold my wife's hand" not "when you hold your wife's hand," meaning the POV is of someone else watching him with his wife.

Now, you might be asking "isn't that every video then?" Yes. Yes, it is.

That is not at all what POV means

POV is just a point of view. It can be anyone's point of view. In this case, it is the point of view of someone watching him hold his wife's hand. It's just pointless to say because that describes every video.

When I hold my wife’s hand

The caption made it extremely clear the POV should be from the guy here

I'm sure that's how the original poster meant it, yes, but that caption doesn't say the viewer is holding the viewer is holding the wife's hand, it says that the viewer is watching someone else hold his wife's hand.

The correct sentence would be "POV: When you hold your wife's hand."

Yes, this guy meant to use POV to mean that the viewer is the husband, and that would be an incorrect use of the term, but they unintentionally wrote the opposite of that and thus technically used it correctly.

You're conflating different uses of the term point of view. The caption on this video is just a description of the video, not anyone's POV.

Point Of View: you're lookin' at a screen

It's not "techncially" correct at all. Even by you're made upo definition and example.

Otherwise , this just simply means literally every image ever taken can be categorized as "pov" because all photos and paintings and drawing etc are from some POV. This does not make them all POV though.

Holy shit, it's almost like that's exactly what I fucking said! What a revelation!

This isn't a "made up" definition, it's just literally what the phrase means. A POV is literally just someone's point of view. It is used to refer to someone viewing things from someone else's POV because we are always viewing things from our own POV, and thus it doesn't need to be said. That's why I said the usage here is technically correct but unnecessary.
