Fixed wing aircraft require alternates for reasons other than weather - accident closes the only runway, crosswind too strong for single runway (perhaps considered as a weather issue), airfield closed for terrorist threat, etc.
Applying the same logic to helicopters is silly - although if all you have to land on is a helipad, and someone goes unservice-able on the pad, it might be interesting.
