It's because the model weights are the valuable thing here. The fancy new architectures are nice and everything, but transformer models are a dime a dozen these days. Seems like they're using this as an example to point at and say "Hey, look at us, we support open source!", whereas unless you're willing to go ahead and spend a small fortune on compute (possibly using their GPUs), these models are somewhat useless.
