It's a rather nice system.

What is the purpose of the zip tie around the tube? It's not tight
enough to secure anything.

I have no great insight into operating this system, but my guess is the
usual one about things on struts - they tend to oscillate in the wind -
and this might damp it out???

I would think it would be better served to strap it securely to the
strut.

My pet peeve with some who use tie wraps is they don't cut the tail
flush with the lock. It's a safety issue since the tail can scratch or
cut ones skin. Depending on where that strut is the tail could catch an
unwary person in the eye.
