If it translates to your language as well as it’s translating to english, I doubt you understand the concept enough to take issue with it.
But, basically, your sets warm you up for a top/heaviest all out set for reps, and you try to add more weight/reps to that last set each session, thus allowing progression to occur more quickly than if you had to add weight and complete 3-4 straight sets with the “new” weight.
If you are currently benching 200 lbs for 8 reps, what would get you bigger/stronger faster- over the course of a year, going to 3 sets of 6-8 at 225 lbs, or being able to work up to a top set of 275 lbs for 8 reps? Most peopl would say the guy doing 275 for 8 reps would be bigger/stronger, so that approach is superior for most people.
