I tried a couple of those on 11 speed, they take almost no force to put on or take off. Like you can just about take it off without any tools.
Compare that to the shimano genuine quick links where it's pretty difficult even with a good tool.

Not sure I trust it if it's that loose... At least the KMC ones need the tool (but are easy with the tool)

no 12 speed here, but i have a small box of both 10 and 11 speed quick links from riderace, you know the ones. i left one pair overnight by accident soaking in white vinegar while degreasing and the quick link literally disintegrated. the actual shimano chain is totally fine. i get you're not really supposed to do that but it still worries me somewhat, unless someone has a solid explanation it kind of erodes my trust in them despite thousands of km running them no problem
