I've considered this before. It's currently not done like that because it introduces extra complexity in the pipelines.

Let's say I want to write a release pipeline (and I plan to do so), if I were to include the version in the output file name, I will have to somehow parse the version from either Git tag or the header files. All the build scripts (e.g., AUR) will also have to adapt and use the version number in the URLs twice. If I don't put version numbers into the file names then they can all just be static, less complexity.

However, you do have a point. I agree it'll be convenient for end users. Let me think about this for a bit.
