you have a lot of thunder weather over there so I would think it is Lightning diverter so it is a safety just like many put lightning conductor on their roofs to secure their house against lightning

This is very interesting to watch, but it leaves me with a question about poles and conductor-stringing techniques: Several years ago, a vehicle struck a utility pole near where I live, causing the pole the break and there was a loss of power. I got to see my local electric provider remove the broken pole, replace it with a new one, reconnect the power cables and restore power be closing the circuit via a cutoff on a nearby pole. In that incident, I got to see the conductor wire. It looked like the cables were always strung pole-to-pole, so every insulator was a kind of virtual "dead end" of the line, connected to the next segment to the next pole. Is that the case here, in this video? Or do utility companies string their conductors using different techniques?

I do not fully understand about what you mean by virtual deadend. There are usually tie wires or clamps securing the wire on each pole so if the next one got removed(assuming it is not a deadend), it would be able to hold the conductor. Hope that answered your question.

they should have took off that armor rod before tying the wire down i know it would have taken longer but it would be better

You tie in with armor rod. It protects conductor

Anybody know why the grounding wire is spaced out on brackets at the top of the pole? Have wondered about that forever...

Found this: It's called a "virtual shield wire" for lightning protection. See www.inmr.com/best-practice-lightning-protection-distribution-systems/

That is to keep clearance from the middle phase where it is bypassing
