Maybe they should spend a little time and money hiring people to vet developers instead of this bullshit. It's about control, not safety. Everything is going app-based, and they want data tracking, so if people side step their means of hoarding data, they're upset and going to block this ability.
Think about it: those who sideload are typically the power users who know what they're installing in the first place. The fact they're talking about cracking down on app stores and devs is shit. Vet the code and look at what the app is doing with users' data. Idk, but is a not great solution.
