And yet a .zip on an FTP might be GPL-compliant whereas a GitHub repo isn't necessarily.

Exactly! But it's objectively a shit way of sharing code, there is no contributions possible, etc.

GPL or any OSS license doesn't require you to accept contributions. Your users are free to do anything with it except distribute derviative software under a different license, but you, the author, don't owe them anything except buildable and runnable (since v3) source code.
