“helps prevent air from escaping from a slightly leaking Schrader valve.”
“Helps” is doing a lot of work for you there. You have a damaged valve and it would need replaced.
It also doesn’t help because the damage to the valve that would come from the moisture from the INSIDE of the tire.
If you’re that worried just buy a 100 pack of valves cores for $5 and just swap them every time you change your tires. You’re vehicle will explode before you run out of cores, and then you don’t need to worry about replacing the $15 fancy caps ever.

Fair enough. I’ll concede. However, still rather pull that kind of prank with a cover that goes over the original valve.
