https://www.debian.org/distrib/ is like this for ages, nothing has changed.
I guess this is to save bandwidth on cdimage mirrors? (it's only DVD and BT
images, which are BT-only; there are direct download links for netinst images)

This is fixed in the meantime; I guess you watched a cached version of the
page or the page rebuild wasn't ready at that time (I encountered similar this
morning).

That's correct, there are some things to update:
- netinst images are now much larger due to included firmware, 
  150-300 MB is no longer correct.
- multi-arch netinst images are no longer being built
