GitHub has bad UX for people who just wanna download and use the programs

I'd agree, but the caveat is that github is primarily about an interface for source control and collaboration between developers for projects. The release page is really just an also-ran in terms of importance.

Imo they aren't even trying, because it's not that hard to make it better. Doesn't even have to be a compromise. Most people just need a visible download button for the programs, that's all.

SourceForge had a better UX for those who just want to download software.

And SF is horrible, so this says a lot.
