You log in once when you buy the phone, for email, maps, calendar, play store, browser, messaging, drive, home automation, YouTube...

And before that you need to register and validate your contact data. Even the act of that one login is more work than changing one setting to allow sideloading. Your point is just completely wrong.

I did that in 2008, once. For sideloading you need to find the apk every single install and update. Several minutes, several times a week.

Right, and since 2008 not a single thing has changed in this world.

Who cares? I did it once and haven't had to do it again. Zero tinkering. No looking for apks every day.
