It does illuminate the road - it's bright enough that the lack of shaping pointing light only at the road doesn't matter. It's just that it's a round light, not a light that's carefully shaped to only illuminate the road.
The front lights I've linked to are substantial, reliable bits of kit with a metal barrel. Many Fridays use them as their only lights; I've seen Dellzeqq use one as a backup.
OK my misunderstanding, when you said it wasn't shaped to illuminate the road I thought you meant it literally wouldn't illuminate the whole road and would just be a narrow spot.
Well it's ordered now and like you say at worst it can be my backup. Didn't mean to sound negative, just had some bad experiences with "cheap" items before and in my other hobby equipment failures tend to lead to very bad situations so get a bit over cautious :-)
