Yes but they are equally petty about all non-Apple external sources!
Only using curl to move the file results in a download that does not have com.apple.quarantine set.
I tried recursively trying to use xattr -d but they add it to every single file, symbolic link, directory, socket, special character block, etc. It is a real pisser to remove. Your only real chance to remove it is *before* trying to unpack the archive.
This really stinks. Why does it matter that you downloaded an archive or app from github (or anyplace) as long as the application itself inside the archive is fully signed and notarized?
Apple is truly becoming a real bastard using Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) to drive developers to its Mac App store.
