I don't deny that there will be less apps available to sideload. However, the claim I was responding to was this one:

"After this change you will have to tell Google your real name and home address to install anything on your Android device."

As far as I can tell (and nobody who has replied has contradicted me so far), that isn't true. I won't have to tell Google my real name and home address to sideload [the now smaller selection of] apps.
