More reliable than the average ICE, statistically, I will grant you. Though I think that has more to do with Toyota dominating US auto manufacturing reliability statistics in general, more than particulars of hybrids over ICE. The comparison, however, was to a full ("uncompromised") BEV. A full BEV has much fewer moving parts than ICE or Hybrid. (Especially because good electric motors don't even constitute "moving parts" when compared to an internal combustion engine, thanks to magnets.)
It doesn’t matter that it “has less moving parts”. It is the most reliable powertrain on the market full stop, including full electric powertrains.
