He was playing with a much much bigger advantage than a counter. Counters get but a minimal advantage. If you think he wasn't doing lots of things to get an advantage over the rebate you don't understand what he did at all. He just pretty much flat bet. If you understand BJ you know there are a lot of things that can give you the advantage while flat betting. He was doing what he could to maximize them all. Plus there was the rebate so he didn't need much extra. What made him great was he figured out how to get away with it for as long as he did.
