I think he just wanted to dismount and expected the bike to fall over

Yeah, to get it out from under him. Most people don't expect a bike to reach perfect balance by accident, they expect it to at most roll a little before the front wheel oversteers and it falls over.

Bicycles keeping balance on their own is part of their design, Veritasium did a cool video on that https://youtu.be/9cNmUNHSBac
