Sadly many people on HN do exactly this, as seen in comments like

"I don't use a phone and don't have a phone number, so I can't pass the anti-spam check of xx website. It is their fault"

"Why do we need a UI for this? Command line is much better than this"

"Why do we need to do this? I have been installing applications by compiling from source since 199x and it has worked perfectly fine for me."

Please don't conflate adopting stupid solution to a problem that goes overboard (HTML) with equally stupid being stuck in shell and building stuff and using CLI...

PS. I assume all your github readme.md are all in full-blown HTML sprinkled with tracking links? :P
