That's 2/3rds down a very long page. Most people won't go down that far unless they're quite interested in the material.


You wont install an app if you are not interested in the material

That's an assumption and not necessarily true. Some users may read it, some may skim, some may come to the page already convinced. For those latter groups, having a fast lane/shortcut call-to-action visible someplace like the top gives them a way to get started before they get overwhelmed/distracted and potentially leave.


that's the kind of attitude that makes otherwise successful apps/content/etc created by stiff engineer minds to never experience any success: "they didn't want it anyway", when people literally didn't _understand_ what you were trying to sell.
