GitHub and Bitbucket is for code, and for people to interact with other coders.
You really don't go to GitHub and Bitbucket to download your favorite binary. That is what sourceforge, Top100 xyz, and Cnet is for.
The projects that are popular have people willing to help (read: contribute) to the project in classic open source engagement.
On top of that, GitHub & BitBucket enable the single/small group maintainer to write a readme that gets displayed.
I use both.
If your fav project doesn't have Mom+Pop friendly page with <download here> by all means please fork + contribute.
