You mean why don't I just checkout from git and make a tarball myself?
Tarballs are pretty much the standard for source releases, and
source-based metadistributions (like Buildroot that I maintain) normally
are optimized for tarballs rather than semi-random git snapshots
(E.G. mirroring, automatic handling, ..).
And then there's the issue about people checking the ftp and not
noticing that there's actually a new stable release out instead of the
old 1.3.1
