Thank you. I didn't know there was a "releases" section to the right of Github repositories.

Github really tries to hide the Releases page lol it's so annoying as a dev, it's even worse on mobile

I usually end up just directly linking to /releases/latest

I think it's a good design in some ways and worse in others.

For this case it's annoying because it's just a .zip that has the binaries ready to go i assume.

But you really want the focus to be on the README and good install instructions. Especially when the releases are just uncomiled source code (which is common).

So I think GitHub leaves this focus on the README and let's the dev decide what is the focus of the people visiting.

Well it doesn't really focus on your README either because all the files and folders are above it

This is gonna be a controversial take, but when Github was formed it was never meant to be the main website of your project. Even though there are Pages now, it's still primarily a Git repository host for developers, not a front-end website for end users of those projects.

tell that to Google lol, my Github pages are way higher than my website

Again, this is by design. The point is GitHub is for developers. If a non developer reaches the page they SHOULD feel a little intimidated. They SHOULD be either forced to read some notes or come back and ask for help (like the commenter did).

This is for their own benefit. Its meant to give people pause about what they are installing or downloading. Since GitHub can host anything. It SHOULD feel different than downloading Discord or some other app.

It is not meant to be a friendly UI that says "Install here!". It is meant to make the user have some caution over what they are doing.

And, again, it's designed for developers. Not end users.

FYI this is a mirror and the OP is on the deep web
