I recently bought an iPad as my first Apple device ever, and I keep laughing my ass out every time I decide to dig deeper into their weird locked in system. Like, with the next iOS update they should finally enable side loading apps because the EU is forcing them to, and while reading about it I came across lots of statements from them on how this will create a HUUUUUGE risk for the users and it's basically the end of the world. Guys just tell your users to not download weird shit and that's about it. It's not like iPhones are gonna magically download spyware by themselves.
It’s true that sideloading adds risk but it’s a risk that all desktop and laptop computers AND android devices AND jail token iPhones have lived with since the beginning of time. Speaking of that, Apple are even trying to limit sideloading on Macs. Sometimes MacOS will block you from installing software you downloaded from the web, complaining of “unknown developer.” There is a MacOS App Store too and they want you using only that. You can still dig through settings to override this but for how much longer?
