Because he’s talking about the way they DEPICTED his work. He directly wrote the scripts of literally half of GT and that literal final episode.
Quote from him: “In the world of Dragon Ball, Goku had already died multiple times, and up till then, each time he appeared with a halo over his head. However, I didn’t want to go with the usual concept of, ‘even when he dies, he comes right back to life.’ I wanted the viewers to picture “death” in that way, and feel a sadness close to it in reality. So I had a “change” come over Goku.”
This is where the fan term “Change State,” comes from. It's literally Goku dying in a different way we’ve never seen before (becoming something beyond the usual concept of the life Death dichotomy), where Goku then, according to him, becomes untouchable due to this.
The other statement is Nozawa (Goku Voice Actor) explaining that same concept, talking about the depiction of that concept. Because the idea is that Goku has finally done the final level of evolution to a form of Godhood (having overcome Karma, Buddhist + Taoist influences and all that).
I don't see what the confusion is here. We’re saying the same thing, the only difference is you’re saying they’re temporarily alive when they come back instead of being living dead. (They merely gain their complete physical bodies).
Point remains the same: Irrelevant, because they aren't in the Afterlife.
