why would anyone host commercial binary software on github or any other third party domain?

Pirates and crackers generally don't host stuff on their own domains. They don't want to pay for the bandwidth and they don't want to be traced.

I think they’re alluding to OP not hosting their own downloads.

I am the OP. I host my own downloads on my own domain and nowhere else. Only the malicious imitation is hosted on Github.
