In fact you need a XDA account to download it, from website and from app.
That is somewhat the point that was previously made. It's a good thing (even an industry standard) to have betas or even production releases be available through a controlled channel in order to prevent the proliferation of what may be unstable or outdated versions as well as containing and organizing the feedback and make it productive.
And since there no other way to get the latest release, providing the apk could be useful, until XDA lab is fixed.
That's a reasonable desire but without more support it's not a very strong case for making a permanent change in the way the app is distributed. Also, Perhaps you might consider a different opener next time. Bashing the forum where you came for app and answers about it is like going up a tree for fruit then trying to chop the tree down while you are up there.
