Compiling UWP apps such as Chrome extensions doesn't "require Microsoft's permission" either and you can sideload them as well.
However, as you point out, Google prohibits side loading for the majority of real Chrome installs.
The time since I last found a malicious extension in the Chrome Web Store is five days[0]. They're terrible at policing this, which is a point I've actively complained about for years.
