What is the cause of the back foot/leg scissoring? I know it's a reactionary torque, although I haven't heard a great deal of what and why this is happening.

This. Looks like an adjustment to the curve.No expert but my guess is this is just the result of a last minute location adjustment to the pitch.
Since the back foot isn't bearing weight as it shouldn't...and he sees late that the ball is lower and away than when he started swinging his hands and some upper body is leaning out making the adjustment so if you stand on one foot and reach or lean like that your back foot will just natural scissoring like that...just a completely uneducated guess on my part.

It can be worked on. It should be worked on. There are different ways to work on it. It can be worked on through the front hip or back hip or back leg.
It is key for efficient force production and transfer . It helps channel the energy through body into the barrel out through the ball. You will see a scissor or a decel move in most good pros. The back hip will only turn so far while the back leg anchors.
Think of the hitters body as a sports car, think of the decel or scissoring as the brakes on a windy mountain dirt road. It really helps keep your swing ‘straight’. I like the saying ‘rotation on a line’. It’s a good description of what’s happening, and how the energy is filtered through the sequence.
I would say the decel is just as important if not more important than the accel. jmho.
