Lots of humorous interjections here, but has anybody offered a serious explanation of the virtues of using a record weight? Or a weight versus a clamp?

A clamp will be threaded, so your t/t's spindle will have to be too. But they will be lighter, which may better suit some decks with belt drive or less torquey motors, and are less likely to affect suspended subchassis. more of a faff screwing on/unscrewing though.
A record weight will just drop onto the spindle, so quicker and easier.
As for improvements sq-wise, it will be a suck-and-see, some may give audible improvements, some may not. Cheap enough to be worth a try though imo.

This is a record weight. Not clamp.

Especially with how things are at the moment - I'm still waiting for something off Ebay which should have landed by Wednesday.
