I hope you do realize that most of your knowledge on how (y)our world works is, for a big part, based on implicit expectations that you or others infer from past observations.
> ...It's you who has built the expectation, not MiniIO, for it exists only in your mind.
The MinIO team understands very well that they have made everybody "build this expectation [each] in [our] mind[s]". They wouldn't have felt the need to write any announcement that they would stop distributing the binaries otherwise.

This is an exaggeration that grossly misrepresents what I'm saying, and without which your point becomes very weak.
You have two choices here:
(a) acknowledging how your fellow human beings build expectations and, harmed with this critical insight, leave in peace, or
(b) sticking your head in the sand.
I highly recommend the former, especially if you don't want to look like a Vogon.
I'll go further: if someone has been releasing a binary for each version of their software, without specific announcement, it would be unreasonable not to expect a binary for the next version. There's absolutely no reason to think things will be different and the binary won't be there.
