Because they were done in order to provide 64-bit binaries as there
were no official binaries of 2.22 for 64-bit macOS, which was a big
problem.

Now that we do provide 64-bit binaries, there is no longer a
point in linking to outdated unofficial versions while we can
offer up-to-date official versions.

[I can't answer this one.]

Honestly, I think this is too much to ask given how the macOS situation
has been in the past years. I would just give up on testing 2.22
on macOS GitHub CI. FWIW, if you're using matrix workflows, you
can exclude matrix configurations
(https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-a-matrix-for-your-jobs#excluding-matrix-configurations),
allowing you to keep CI for 2.22 on Linux and Windows but not macOS.

I am not aware of any.
