That is the main website
i think thats why.
There is no "the main website".
Besides, whose website would that be, anyway? Bitcoin is a
protocol
. Not a person, or organization, or company, or authority, or server, or institute, or any entity whatsoever that would represent themselves on the internet.
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

They develop it, but they are not controlling your coins.
They develop
A
Bitcoin client, not
THE
Bitcoin client.
I don't think it's very healthy for the decentralized, free, independent, and open reputation of Bitcoin to present Bitcoin-Qt as "THE" client (or even "the standard client"). The
protocol
is what's standard, not some particular client implementation (regardless if was the first around, or has the most users).
Also, bitcoin.org is just one of many random websites related to Bitcoin. Not "the official Bitcoin site".
I think Bitcoin-Qt is "the" & "standard" client TBH because if you read bitcoin somewhere, you first go to bitcoin.org unless your directly linked elsewhere.
Then Bitcoin-Qt will be the first thing you install, later on something like armory when you learn about it. I'm not familiar with all the clients, but armory needs Bitcoin-Qt to operate the fact they choose to use Bitcoin-Qt as their host, points to the direction Bitcoin-Qt is the standard app.
The first site I found was WeUseCoins actually. Then I found Mt. Gox, then Bitcoin.org. Then after that I found blockchain.info, and it was kind of dominoes from then on out. (Damn, now I want Pizza. Papa John's, Domino's sucks around me
[Free pizza's will be graciously received])
Yeah, your high.
Never had weed before
Even though I've perused SR before
Maybe because I never browse it when I have money
Well, that's the way weed works. One minute you’re talking about the blockchain and somehow it reminds you that you really need a pizza. LOL
Well, on a completely unrelated thread, today's the first day I've left my bed since the weekend. (Thank you flu) Back on topic, yes it is a protocol, not a program.
