I don't really understand why all sideloads are put into same category. Because the APK must be signed, and e.g. you could easily verify Facebook/Microsoft/bigcompany signatures.

I don't want a world where people can only sideload apps from big companies like Facebook and Microsoft.

  • I think what’s being suggested is that you could install any app but verify if it’s legit via the signature.

    • Facebook was just caught using loopback networking to completely bypass app sandboxes. If anything, I’d want to block any app that contains a dependency they signed.
