why just the primary?

Why did California limit this to the primary ballot?
President Trump will not be eligible for California’s primary ballot unless he releases his tax returns, under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday.

The law requires that all presidential candidates release their tax returns in order to be placed on the ballot for the state’s primary next year, in a move that will almost certainly lead to legal challenges. Mr. Newsom’s decision to sign the legislation seemed designed to escalate a running feud between the White House and California
No disrespect to Bill Weld, but Trump is essentially running unopposed in the GOP primary.  Why didn't the people who drafted that law require candidates in the primary and general election to release their tax returns?
