...and on the software side, you don't even have sysadmin access

Or, from the opposed perspective, you're paying Apple to do your sysadmin tasks for you.

(Really, you do have sysadmin access, if you care enough. My iPhone has a profile on it put there by my [big, enterprise-y] employer, which gives them the ability to do pretty much whatever they want—including side-loading applications. I'm surprised nobody has used the "corporate-owned device" method to build an App store yet.)

I'm not invested in the Apple ecosystem any more. Is this true? Being trying to find a link to some authoritative info on this but haven't thus far.

Do you mean this? http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/it/management.html

I see no mention of being able to side-load apps.

Business use a dev license, then deploy their own apps via side-loading. Standard practice by now. And "own" apps is becoming a very loose definition, 3rd party develops, then signs with corp key.
