OS X and Windows will probably be okay because the "default" is to install outside the store. It's not really considered "sideloading". But most other platforms with single-source app stores will be in trouble.

Why the default is important in this case, if the device owner can enable side loading in an easy way then I am okay with a secure default. Hopefully some progress is made and OSX and Windows remain unlocked even if MS and Apple are slowly pushing in the other direction.
