Because I see most YouTubers just give every dwarf one point in one or 2 things, why?

Every point you don't spend on skills can be spent on bringing items. Personally I don't spend points on skills at all, since most of them level up reasonably quickly anyway, but if you intend to embark to see immediate combat combat skill expenditure makes sense.
I use my points mostly for animals.

Is there an upside to not giving your starting dwarves points in skills?

More points to spend on supplies and animals. All skills can be acquired "on the job" later (though a few are much more time-intensive than the rest).

A single point is enough to automatically enable the associated labors on embark, so it isn't necessary to manually assign those labors after arrival.

I always put points into swimming and dodging. It's just a good idea.

Oh ok thanks I had no idea. I thought they were completely separate from each other.
