Because it was designed to remove many of the complexities of the MSI
installer that most users don't need and many don't understand if
they're new to PostgreSQL.

And it's not 'much more prominent', it's just listed above. There's
even a paragraph at the top of the page explaining the differences
between the two and the target audience for each. The trick is to read
the text, or if you must blindly click on the first link you'll get
the most simple package :-).
