Research direction
Start at the download page entry point, https://www.python.org/downloads/, and inspect how the current “Download Python 3.14.0” button detects the platform. The work is done when the page prominently offers downloads for the latest 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14 releases, with a way to select another platform.

Description
- Move the most common downloads (latest of 3.12, 3.13, 3.14) to the very top of the page, as buttons -- that's what all other software does and it saves confusion for folks who are thrown off by having to scroll through several pages of text. It can't just be the latest -- many software still requires 3.12 or sometimes older. It can guess platform and have a little side menu to select another platform.
We currently have a single "Download Python 3.14.0" button at the top, and has platform detection so it's the macOS installer for me.
We could add one or two more either next to this, or maybe after the "Docker images" link.
