I am curious as to why the www/joomla3 port installs from GitHub, looks
like the port is better for Joomla code development than to run a CMS.

There are LOTS of files in the port install that is not needed to run
Joomla.

I thought the recommended way is to fetch the latest version from
joomla.org:

https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla3/3-8-7/Joomla_3-8-7-Stable-Full_Package.zip?format=zip


Can someone please enlighten me here?

Thanks!
