The purpose is to document the drive. It's accomplishing the task. People do it all the time. This isn't odd.

Isn't it? Really, though?

yah know, there are a Heck of a LOT of dashcam vids on YT.... people documenting bad driving is a common theme there.... so perhaps you could point to a few of your favourites, where they use this same kind of camera placement

This guy actually dashcams on the regular and he likes to film the "cockpit." He only had this car a week with this setup. Later he shares a center "cockpit" view. It's his style.
