It'll take me a while to find the link, but the biggest reason is to not incriminate yourself.
If you have a body-mounted camera, it cannot be seized on the spot by police as evidence. If you have a vehicle-mounted camera, however, it can.
As far as I remember, it's in a 44Teeth video, maybe a different similar channel. All the same that was reason enough for me.
As far as non-legal, I would always prefer a chin-mounted camera as it doesn't affect your range of movement too bad but it gives a rider-perspective to any footage. For example, it proves you looked left/right/whatever.
I found the only time I submitted evidence of dangerous driving by gopro, it was bicycle bar-mounted, and the police claimed it didn't show enough. As such, no chance of a conviction, no dice, fuck off.
Had it been on my head and shown my view as I saw the approaching car, they may have taken it more seriously.
Oh, and chin-mounted, people can see it, so if someone was about to do something stupid they might clock the camera and decide otherwise.

Can anyone come up with reasons not to get this https://innovv.co.uk/shop/motorcycle-dash-cameras/k6-dual-lens-motorcycle-camera/
The card is in the front camera which has one wire to the rear camera and one to a USB A for power. I could plug in under my seat as I have a USB port doing nothing under there. Seems a simple install.
From what I can tell there’s no gps and no button to save clips, but with a 256 memory card that’s about 18 hours to find and download any clip you wanted to save. No parking mode but is any of that needed? It looks like the gps and remote button clip savy thing on other models is just additional stuff to try and fit somewhere (naked bike so no panels to hide stuff under).
Only 2K 30fps up front, does that matter or is all the 4k/8k bollocks just people getting wrapped up in spec sheet hype. Rear is as always 1080 which is the norm for cameras at the end of a data power cable.
