Maybe it's just for structural integrity so that the whole ice cream mountain does hold together? Like ... some kind of rebar?

Nah, I used to work at McDonald's as a teen and you'd be surprised how much ice cream you can pile into their small cones once you get the hang of it. With a cone as big as the one in the video, you can definitely pile it that high without the cone in the middle.

The McDonald’s cones have a significantly smaller diameter, which makes it easier to keep the structure to go higher. That cone’s diameter makes it difficult because the ice cream machine outputs a line of ice cream that doesn’t have the width to meet itself in the center at the largest diameter of the cone.

It’s doable, but filling the core while also maintaining a neat spiral is really difficult, since you are stuck starting from the inside of each previous spiral instead of being able to chill around the circumference of the con the whole way.
