I was rewatching an old video on YouTube and the guy was able to walk again after 10 months of practicing yoga and losing 140 lbs. If no one on earth can exactly predict when someone will die or if they’ll be able to walk again, how and why do doctors come up with these predictions?

It depends on what exactly your issue is, and how likely it is to be something that can “fix itself.”
For example, if you break your back at the C3 Vertibrae, and it severs your spinal column, there is basically no chance you will walk again: your spinal nerves can’t re-attach in the healing process, and won’t, barring some SUPER rare cases where someone got lucky and either the bone was reset just right and their spinal nerves literally knitted themselves together. But this was such a rare occurrence that the person it happened to, was studied for decades, and an autopsy of the person suggested that it wasn’t a complete fracture in the first place.
In other issues like chronic diseases where it is a “you have X months to live” it is usually an estimate based on how long you have before a vital organ fails, and how long that will take before the human body fails due to the toxins that will eventually build up/do damage in the process, and whether medical treatments exist that can replace that biological function, like dialysis for Kidney failure.
