I'm not seeing how they are doing any muting, they can just do it.

When I do it the "regular" way, I use my 2nd and 3rd fingers, and bar the 1st and 2nd strings with my 1st finger. Its the only way I can get a good bend/vibrato to sound...

Guess it depends on how you do bends. I use one finger to do bends.
That way you get more precise control and you have all the rest of your fingers free to either play notes or mute other strings to keep them quiet.

Using two fingers to me would be like trying to play with mitts on, or like trying to bend strings with a couple of sausages.
