"The main reason why I have settled on itch for the time being is because it allows for hosting multiple builds, including web builds, on a single page with a blog feature and a text description meaning people can check it out immediately and see if it's for them or not. I don't need any of the features that GitHub etc provides, and very rarely do I receive questions/feedback regarding the source tarballs."

Yeah so funny thing about that, GitHub allows you to make a page dedicated to this project, as well as uploading multiple builds which can bee seen in this example right in Assets section.

Majority of projects such as source ports will always use GitHub because its features are far more convenient when it comes to maintaining the project compared to itch.io as people can follow the progress by looking at the commits that have been pushed into it and if an issue pops up GH allows you to keep things much more clean and if someone wants to contribute to the project people can send a merge request into it.

and finally people can test out the recent main branch before the release by cloning it and compiling or just set up an action where the github itself will compile it and give out the nightly build in runnable form for those who do not know how to compile.

Alternatively GitLab also lets you do the same thing in case ya want to avoid Microsoft.
