Average security is what is easy and common(usually because its easy). It's common for regular users to install via their software center where they will find their office software, browser, and other common apps.
It's common for some developer oriented software to list a lazy way to install software from a trusted source. They also aren't running curl $URL | bash on a $URL from a scam email they just got. It is indeed bad practice but its a relatively contained bad practice and its not reasonable to compare this situation where some developer oriented software recommends a controllable insecure method with the common user experience of hundreds of millions of windows users constantly installing all software by downloading and clicking on executable the functional equivalent of curl|bash
