Convenience and familiarity.

I'm ashamed to admit, but I too expect to see screenshots and features listed inline on the landing page; it's been a common practice in the last 10 years or so.

> Personally I don’t see the difference between scrolling down or pressing buttons

Scrolling is untargeted, you just move the wheel or drag your fingers back and forth. Pressing buttons requires you to identify such elements, target and then click them. Both sound trivial, but they're different classes of trivial.



Interesting as I find the complete opposite for myself; I love the easy access to all options at the top instead of doom scrolling for possible information usually hidden between horrible animations that slide in and out, breaking natural scrolling etc.
