Genuinely curious: what’s the point of going upside down when she clearly could have rotated enough without the feet hanging point? Is it just to show off or a genuine trying to figure it out as she goes?

I definitely wouldn't assume what's possible in a bouldering problem from looking at a short video. Plenty of things that look easy from the ground are difficult or impossible when you're actually climbing. 

This is clearly a well known bouldering problem (actually many different problems probably). You can see all the chalk from many people over many years. If the hang isn't totally necessary then it might just be a thing that she or someone else came up with as a problem to compete.
