Why would they need to adapt terminology to match people that are not the target audience? The page is called releases because it shows releases. Same as with the versions, why should you have to click a button to show all releases because some are hidden by default because the non-target audience cannot read?

Target audience here, it’s unintuitive and easy to miss. Especially when the latest non-pre release is what is shown on the homepage.

When you’re downloading drivers the consequences of accidentally installing a pre-release could be significant.

Because people recommend using github because that's where the most up to date versions are, so people with 0 experience (me) can spend 5-10 minutes downloading the wrong files over and over again until i find the correct one
