For a lot of projects the gh-pages 'is' the official website. Smaller projects have never (until now) needed another location to host a full project, you may disagree that github aims to be a place to host open source projects but gh-pages, a hosted wiki and issue tracker suggests otherwise.

I don't know about this stuff, so ask in earnest: couldn't such smaller projects upload their compiled installers to some free app hosting service, and link to that from their github site pages?

They can, but it means dealing with another service which is inconvenient, especially for OSS projects
