Idk if it's my accent or whatnot, but don't porridge, morgage, storage, forage all rhyme as well? I was always mildly confused by this.

They do but none of those are perfect rhymes

Well, in a way yes, and in the video where Emienm breaks down this type of rhyming, some of those words are words he uses in the example and the basic idea of how it works

He never said he was the first to rhyme orange with door hinge, though...

It's called a slant rhyme, and the way you make it work is usually to use several more of them. It's like a quick re-training of the ear to accept these imperfect rhymes more readily because the pattern is more obvious.
