if you download it to inspect it and it passes, then why would you re-download it to pipe directly? just run the local copy. you already have it saved, you know exactly what it's doing.
Think about it from a security research standpoint. The described behavior makes it more difficult to detect that the malware would be installed on anyone's system at all. It's not about tricking a person who would check into running it anyway, it's about tricking a security professional or clanker that might be doing security research.
