I wanted to add - thanks OP, this is a good deal. It's about the same price as AliExpress, and if you've tried to order these from Ali (I have), they always cancel your order for some reason. Finally, these are a good option to use if your bike is in visual range of where you stop to get food or drink (so somebody can't jump off the back of a truck, throw it in the bed, and disappear... or somebody hop on the seat and just pedal away). No, it's not a good idea to use this lock to chain up your $12k Pinarello Dogma up, overnight. As an aside, some people use these to lock up their helmets... whether bike helmet or motorcycle helmet, as opposed to carrying them around with you. Regardless, it's a good deal for what it is, and OP deserves a Thumbs Up for the deal posting.
With that out of the way, judging a lock by LPL's standards is misleading at best. Remember that, before LPL films his video, he closely inspects the lock and then uses his decades of world-class level skills to analyze which vulnerabilities to display. He then preselects the tools he will use to exploit the mechanism and only then does he start filming and "get to picking".
In the real world, by the time the thief sees the lock, the clock is already ticking. He's gotta bust it and make off with the goods before you return and spot him.
In most cases, the thief isn't going to analyze the lock, determine that it's a tubular core design with 2 banks of concentric pins, retrieve a specialized tubular core impressioning tool and then deftly pick the lock.
He'll see the secured item and if he thinks it's worth stealing, he'll use a crowbar or an angle grinder if he's feeling ballsy. Or he'll just hit the lock with a heavy wrench and see if it pops open.
Just because LPL can use his decades of expertise, several minutes of analysis and a specialized tool he and Bosnian Bill made to open a particular example lock without the key in the comfort of his own well lit studio, doesn't mean that particular lock is insecure in MOST real world situations.
Literally any lock can be exploited given enough skill, time and tools; but that doesn't mean every lock is shit.
And truthfully, no team is gonna Ocean's 11 your bicycle and look for nice click on 1, nothing on 2, slight counter rotation on 3 into a deep false set, likely a serrated pin, nothing on 4…. They're gonna bolt cut it.
With that said, these zip locks are only good for preventing "crime of opportunity" where someone who wasn't going to steal your bike, sees that it's completely unsecured, and then figures "hey, why not? I'll take it". But they serve that purpose well.

These look pretty handy but I absolutely would not trust them to lock my bike anywhere there is a chance of theft.

Yeah so don't lock it at all! Just leave it open.
also, let us know where you are keeping it

The way this thing can be defeated by just turning the tumblers, you can't even identify a thief from the legitimate owner. You could open this in front of 10 cops and walk away scot-free.

Bro - you linked the Lock Picking Lawyer. The guy can crack bank vaults blindfolded. Your average jamoke that would risk a felony charge to steal somebody's bicycle does not have those type of skills. In fact, I challenge you to buy this lock and use the Locking Picking Lawyer's same tactics and pick this lock in less than an hour. Bet you that you can't do it. I did watch the video, btw.

While I agree LPL is not a realistic judge of how easily most people can defeat locks, this is a low-skill attack. Most stuff like this you can cut thru easily with double-action diagonal cutters. Heck, you could brute-force the combo in a few minutes since it's only 3 digits.
I wouldn't use this to secure anything worth more than the lock itself tbh.
