Apple of course has an internal version of iOS that lets you do this.

Would the current side loading capability, requiring a hard link to a Mac and an install of XCode, satisfy those calling for a side loading capability for consumers? I doubt it, but that's my point. Who gets to decide what satisfies any such requirement? Building in the features to support third party app stores is even more of a can of worms.

The state decides obviously, the entity in charge of making the rules.

The public version lets you do this. Just a week at a time.
