Have you considered releasing the binaries as releases on GitLab or GitHub?

That's at least how I would try to work around the issue.

Regarding the blog post: I think this is a side effect of making the web a "safer" place for all kinds of users; nothing which I appreciate personally but I understand why a large mass of users clicking everything is a concern for Google/Microsoft/Apple.

I was once thinking that people could be educated to use the web in a better and safer way...now I think everyone (tech-savy users, big corporations) has given up on that and that "safe by default" is the norm.
