If it's a decently large project, sure. But if it's a small project with only a couple contributors who I've never heard of? There's the potential for that to be hiding malicious code. Plus the potential complexity of getting a project that's only ever been built on (say) 2 computers to successfully compile and run on my system. Plus figuring out whatever build system and weird flags they happen to use. And potentially wrangling a bunch of dependencies.

All that just to take a quick look at a language that might not actually be of interest to me in the end. The browser offers huge benefits here - follow a link and play around in a text box. It just works. (This is also why I use Godbolt - I don't want to bother with a Windows VM or wrangle ten different versions of Clang and GCC myself.)
