I was also surprised, but the other day, a person working for a large IP vendor company complained that he was not able to download the Buildroot tarballs. For some reason, the IP of this company had been blocked in iptables rules of buildroot.org. When I suggested to use Git instead, and especially the Github or Gitlab mirrors as a workaround, it apparently wasn't considered really a good solution. So it does seem like some people are still using the tarballs, indeed.
