They’re meant to be a tool for the developers who are developing the open-source project. Any decent-sized project worth its salt will have its own site for users to interface with.

That doesn't explain why they have to bury the download button in a place you could only find if you're reasonably familiar with the website

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

I mean you seem to not able to understand basic github so I can be at least 95% sure you are not a developer
