That’s a little harsh but it does seem strange that when someone is a fan of a product they will refuse to acknowledge its flaws and will see every change, good or bad, as an improvement. Maybe I’m guilty of the same with the products that I like but Apple provides a lot of examples of this behaviour.
I still think its a bad idea. Because in my country, the government loves their apps. And being able to bypass the app store will mean that they will force you to install their own “app store”. This would also mean they can put more invasive features in their app.
Or perhaps I’m overthinking it and my government has the best interest for the people.
From your post history, it looks like you’re in Singapore. If so, then I don’t think that will be a concern - if anything, given how most government apps treat sideloading on the Android side, they’ll probably block you from using them if you use the feature.
And all the people who defended the lack of sideloading as a security feature will suddenly think it’s a great idea.
They’re gonna say anything to justify whatever bullshit shoved down their asses.

Hey man, I get wanting to turn blind eye to those flaws, but they don’t need to fight people over it…
God enters the chat: got something to say about my perfect creations fuckboi? Wanna join Lucy down below?

iOS apps will still be sandboxed. You have nothing to fear except whatever data you yourself enter into the app.
I think that’s a problem with your country, not the ability to sideload.

Do they do that now for Android?
Where do you live?

Yea the most they do is bundle it with the phone which you can them easily uninstall.
