It's about build tools versions, needed work, resistance to changes, etc. You can consider AppVeyor as just another place doing builds with different tools versions, which is good for portability. GitHub Actions is currently considered as a way to validate our builds with different tools versions. A downside is that github login is necessary for download and URLs are not stable - this is bad for automation. Now you have one more place to look: https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/snapshots/releases/tag/snapshot-master It stores (unofficial - until/if the team decides it's official) daily snapshots for the master branch with stable URL without a need to login.
