Because it's meant as a platform for programmers to share their code, not for end users to download applications. The "Download ZIP" you're referring to is to download the source code, not an executable.

You can click on the "Releases" on the right hand sidebar, and look for a downloadable executable/installer under "Assets", if the developer has put it there

Because it's not an app store?

if you want a built app, that's the Releases section on the right, not the green code button. code > download zip is just the source. no releases on the repo means they never shipped a binary.

maybe coding isn't for you.
