It just seems better than trying to delicately clamp all those thin aluminum and carbon tubes and seatposts.
test your front brake, front wheel true, and headset bearings for notchy action, in that stand.

but at least you won't need a flop stopper

PS.. i have an old Minoura stand that is very similar... it cradles the BB, and clamps the downtube of old steel frames...and then leaves nasty scuff marks on the downtubes... hey, it was free i'm going to mount an old waterpipe "10 speed" on it as a display, then put EVERY REFLECTOR i've pulled off wheels onto it and aim a party laser at it on a foggy night........ spin wheels for effect.
