Because making proper executables working on all machines is just extra maintenance work. They probably just wanted to code something and share it to the world without that extra headache.

Unless you're running it very low level code no it's not.

If it's anything that is in c++ or java You're basically making me copy paste your code into a compiler and then pressing compile the end result will be identical to the one you would have given me.

It’s not if you want to compile for Windows, Linux and Mac at the same time, with x86, x64 and ARM support. Cross compiling can often be a big annoyance to set up.

And this is a Python project. Making stand alone executables for Python projects is rare.

GitHub public repositories get free build runners for all of those except ARM and aren't that hard to set up (for compiled languages of course).
