Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

cargo install can take a decent amount of time, as it fetches and compiles packages from source.

Describe the solution you'd like

cargo-binstall is a much faster way of installing rust binaries so we should prefer to install with it when --features is not needed.

Describe potential alternatives you've considered

using quick-install, but cargo-binstall already uses this as a fallback and gives more control to maintainers.

another alternative is to prefer not to use cargo but rather specify all the platforms and the release binary within the package.yaml. however, this seems harder to remember and making the cargo option better seems like the better option.
