Man these comments are fun. The patricians defending the (admittedly) bad UI/UX as the skill-hurdle it is, while the rest are finding inventive ways to rephrase “gib button plz”

The UI is fine.

It's just that Github is a code sharing and collaboration platform for developers, not a software package distribution platform for end users.

But it is often additionally used as a software package distribution platform, so it would be helpful for some developers to reach their users by having a clearer path to the most current release.

I can personally do without a special button, and the op is obviously making a joke, but why not improve the UX for some users? It's certainly possible to do this without impacting the smelly nerds who wouldn't use the button.
