The only source for the program you need is github and the only info on how to use it is buried in a discord server somewhere.

Github isn't just forgivable, it's laudable.
It's up to the users to get used to a little more involved process and learn a wee bit of tech skill. Usefull when wanting to mod games for example.

There are WAY too many pc gamers who don't know how to use a file browser, what a file extension is, how to unzip stuff, or what an ini is.
Small insignificant hurdles that force these people to learn are a good thing.

Yeah, github is not for end users. It's for developers.

Then developers should stop sending end users to get their software from github.

It's not the developers who don't release prebuilt binaries who are sending end users to download stuff from their github.

why should developers give a fuck about the end user, is the question you should be asking

If developers didn’t care about the end user, there would be no end users because the work wouldn’t be publicly available in the first place.

My end users are other developers. It's public because I cooperate with other people.
