edit: for anyone wanting to diy this here is a great video by athleanx using weight, elastic band and barbell https://m.youtube.com/shorts/STxeKLs_ieE
it's fixed therefore isolating the exercise to your forearm and arguably a better workout

Now, if you are looking for pure forearm strength, then perhaps.
Also stuff like this can contribute to aggravating carpal tunnel, etc

Stick and rope with a long bolt at the end to thread through plate hasn't failed me in decades. Plus lighter dumbbell wrist curls with back of forearm horizontal against a bench is great if looking for target forearm if not engaged enough during bicep lifts.
I wonder how many "sticks and a water bottle tied to a rope" do you have in your gym equipment. How much is that random stick rated to hold? Who pays for the doctor bill after you drop a dumbell on your foot when that scrap piece of broomstick fails?
BTW, that's a pretty big stick and "bottle" that is rated to up to 100 lbs. A gallon of water weighs 8-ish pounds....that's 12 GALLONS of water 'tied to a stick.' Man, if a better system only existed for less than the cost of a single meal at a restaurant
This seems worth it, but as others have said, only if forearms are truly your weak point. Compared to just doing more pullups or deadlifts or carries, this seems like it won't destroy my hand skin any worse than it is...that's a win. OTOH, grip is supposed to be your weak point, that's why wrist wraps are so common.
I'm probably about to learn that front delts are my new weak point

You are absolutely wrong to think isolated work doesn't improve your size/strength/gains beyond the compound work.
And so much of the pull work is limited by grip strength, so anyone (literally anyone) looking to pull more weight, do more pull-ups, etc. would benefit from adding some isolated forearm work to their compound work.
Please don't discourage people from maximizing their potential through compound PLUS isolation work.
