Most OS software is downloaded from code repositories like github or fosshub to save on networking costs, not to mention CDNs that are often used even when the link is on the software's website the file itself will often not be "coming from" that website.

same difference though, that's the equivalent of a CDN or fosshub. Its definitely not the author of the software.
