The biggest problem with that setup is that if it rains while you are stopped/off the bike, then your brain bucket becomes a literal bucket.
That's why I put my helmet on my mirror. Or in the topbox.

I've used this since day one just about and I've seen this on many forums and in groups and invariably, somewhere, someone will post the same comment about the water.
Sure, if you live somewhere, where there is a chance of an immediate waterfall, that might be a problem but I sweat when I ride and the sweat, salt and minerals from my head are much worse for the liner than a bit of rain is. Also, I've never, EVER been completely surprised by rain while being stopped/parked. You can see what the weather is like and if I walk away from the helmet, I have the bike where I can see it so if I'm sitting and eating a burger and it starts raining, I'll see it long before lots of water will collect.
As for the helmet locks, they all require that you get off the bike and unlock something. THIS IS NOT meant to replace that. This is just to give you an easy to reach place to hang your helmet securely. That's it.
