Yeah, sideloading it requires getting a development code from the company, jailbreaking your machine, then installing a full development environment...
Not what I'd call user friendly.
Meanwhile, on something like the FireTV stick, if someone gives me the URL to an APK, I can install it.
Rooting (assume you meant this by jailbreak8ng) is not required for this process. Only some apps reauire root. Kodi and the youtube adfree apps don't require root.

Anyone is welcome to read the instructions. Tell me that doesn't look like a nightmare for grandma to set up.
