Not strange at all. The #1 page is heavily SEOd by the marketing SEO teams. The technical download pages don't have the luxury of full time SEO teams.

What exactly is the purposes of a marketing team which prevents interested users from using your products?

There is no marketing to be done at that point - the market has already found you.

Think of them more as a sales team than a marketing one, they're trying to upsell you, and presumably it works in enough cases as they keep doing it.
