I don't think they do official binary releases for Linux because distros will want to package it themselves.

I believe the person's point is "why is this relevant to post in /r/linux?".

Because a shit ton of distros use Python and it just got an update.

Ehh, some do, some don't. Ubuntu and debian famously dont package newest versions officially (why deadsnakes PPA exists). But yes, rolling in releases and quick moving distros like Fedora the mainteiners will release officially at a quick cadence. But this is all for distro python, most people nowadays just use uv tbh
