You can't seriously be saying that not being able to figure out which download button is the right one is reasonable? With experience, it's extremely easy to find the real one.

- Mousing over it doesn't show a huge long URL to some external domain that sounds ad-like.

Using adblock probably gets rid of a lot of the fake ones too, but the general principle here is if it looks too good/easy to be true, it probably is. The buttons that seem really enticing are the ones you don't want to click, and it's that odd, not-very-attractive one that you want.
