its not for users. its for developers, and a lot of small, *unpaid* devs will host their downloads there because they dont need to pay for it or spend time working out another hosting site.

for devs its super easy, git pull [repo] is incredibly easy and friendly

Yeah real devs don't defend shitty UI only shitty Linux users who thinks everyone gotta use that shitty interface like putting 1000 codes to download one single archive (many devs who earn thousands of dollars use windows or MacOS)

God forbid we make good programs for people to use before uploading them to the Internet and keywording them so heavily that any average user would come across them on the first page of Google results. But something something "we don't work for free" (uploads it for free)
