Sorry to differ, but....

I can't see how that would check wheel alignment accurately, as you're relying on everything forward of the swingarm pivot being dead in line, in every plane.
Maybe also that the rear wheel is spot on central in the swingarm.
At the very least, there must be manufacturing tolerances which affect all that ...?
The most accurate method to check wheel alignment must surely be to measure the actual wheels themselves.....?
