The rust package manager has a feature where you can publish binaries to crates.io and install them through cargo. Like you could run cargo install starship --locked and it would install the Starship shell prompt and add it to the path. It seems a lot more convenient than downloading the binary and manually adding it to the path. You can also clone the source code and install it through cargo that way, but having a command that you can copy-paste if you already have Rust installed would be pretty nice.
The pre-built binaries should still be there as an option, but the current installation process seems a little convoluted is all.
