Reusable?

Not sure even Johnsond would disagree with you on that.  That use of a bowline is just plain horrible.

I'd tend to agree with that. A bowline is my favorite go-to knot for just about anything, but I wouldn't use it for an attachment like that. At least use one of its more secure variants, with the flappy end safely tucked back in somehow. Or one of the more permanent knots already mentioned.

 

What do you reckon @Johnsond?

The thimble is also loose which could rub and cut the rope. If you use a thimble it needs to be held securely in the knotted/sewn or spliced eye and the bowline needs a stopper.

 

The rope looks clean enough, if its double braid I would splice the eye, or a scaffold knot.

 

I dont see any point of a swivel carabiner on a rope lanyard as they are not stiff against twisting like a wire cord. I'm yet to find a swivel with a shape I like, they all sit badly on the harness ring. Why cant they make them with ovals?!
