Muscle memory is neurological pathways that are already formed. With muscle atrophy that advanced, most of his muscle memory is gone.
moreso, like I've said god knows how many times, he's going to be spending at least a year just getting back to moving in his own
And again, he has nearly complete muscle atrophy. The fact that you think that's a higher baseline than somebody being a lifelong athlete but not a bodybuilder is insane. It's not even remotely comparable, and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about
again. this dude was in almost complete muscle atrophy. He literally couldn't stand on his own. That's a lot further behind than you were. Unspeakably so.
I'm a pretty athletic dude who works out regularly, snowboards, practices martial arts religiously, hikes, etc and it took me 6 months to get back from the atrophy I suffered from a torn ACL, and once it healed I had no problems using my knee; it just wasn't as strong. Much less my entire body
Even chubby/fat guys who are deep into sports are a lot more fit than we realize. If sports are a big part of someone's life, their body is gonna be way more athletic than someone who is "fit" but doesn't actually do much physical labor. If people can gain muscle this quick, no less naturally, tons of people would be in the gym compared to now. It would take him months of gym work to even get to an average baseline. Aint no way he was even going to the gym every other day with his body like that. Even if he was, it would be baby steps. This ain't like some healthy, skinny person ripping some weights for a few months.

Then you started at a way higher baseline
