First is that with two points of contact and both having hinges in them any basket will drift to the lowest point of energy (gravity). Wald front baskets are pretty poor for holding the position you want in general. Additionally they are really intended for nutted axles with a diameter that fits in their strut hole fully. This will help support the strut's angle. A skewer allows a lot of float within the hole and most modern skewers don't clamp very tightly to hold whatever strut position you start with. The strut's top mount to the basket is hinged so this end won't hold it's angle. Then the handle bar clip will both rotate on the bars as well as on the basket wire. lastly is the presence of brake cables. Wald baskets were designed around coaster brake bikes back in the 1960s )(give or take a decade) for the most part. No brake levers or cables to be comprised by the basket or goods being carried.
