A larger pot allows the tree to grow faster and therefor develop faster. Once you plant a tree in a properly sized bonsai pot, fattening of trunks and branches slows down so much that you can hardly build them anymore. A trainingpot will also help develop a better nebari, easier than in a small bonsai pot.
It is a way station between full on ground growing and a bonsai pot
Heron has a lot of interesting videos. I think they use loads of training pots.

The simple idea is that a tree developes faster the more roots it have. To get more roots, get the biggest pots possible or plant it in the ground. Then when pretrained use smaller and smaller during refinement.

While the tree is young and not ready to be called a bonsai and for a bonsai pot we use cheap usually plastic pots which are shallow so bonsai container shaped but at a very low cost. There are many different kinds, I use a washing up owl for some, with holes of course
Yeah, forgot. Price of course. If you have a tree which is worth 20 bucks, you are not really goign to spend 50 bucks on a pot
I have found cat litter trays very siotable for growing out, just like storage baskets
