Lol, weird way to say that 256 is a power of two, and computers operate in base two.
It's a pretty succinct explanation that links what it is to something most people have heard of (a byte).
Their definition is a lot better.
Tbf saying it that way brings a visual metaphor. Simply giving it as a mathematical definition would leave it feeling just as arbitrary.
