That make it even worse, I didn't clock that it is not the quick release version (which is better as this mean it'll be stronger).
Another comparison; a Specialized Pizza Rack weight 900g and can carry 15kg (compare to the PDW's 1026g and 7kg weight limit)
Only the Surly Nice rack which is the heaviest and strongest one you can get (AFAIK) is over 300g heavier than the PDW (1382g with a carrying capacity of 32kg);

Thanks for the Specialized Burra Burra suggestion. I'll take a closer look, and the weight is appealing. I got the impression that the weight of the PDW included their dry bag, which I would omit and just insert a tent in there minus poles.
Looking at the PDW mounting system, it may be Rixen and Paul, but it doesn't look to be the quick release version used on many handlebar bags:
