https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/.There are only two links in it and both redirect to the EnterpriseDB site.
Atno time is it clarified that it is a third party, even the link is outside the third party section.

Thereforethe official source for downloading the installer is the link I put, I checked all the links on the site and
nowhereis it offered to download the installer from the PostgreSQL site itself.

Another option, now that you know the situation, is to contact
EDB(https://www.enterprisedb.com/contact) and see if there are other
ways to get the software.
There is also the option of downloading the source:
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/
from the community site and building Postgres.
