I think whenever sideloading becomes a thing the most reasonable solution to me is to make it only doable by injection through a program on a Mac or pc.
It would still allow anyone that really wants to get a program to have it, and the program itself could still self update without having to plug back in, but it would add that one extra step that would keep your average person from accidentally downloading something they shouldn’t.
Like my grandma. If sideloading were on a phone and just had to click okay a couple extra times, she might accidentally do it. If she had to plug it in to download initially, she’d think is this something that I need?
