I don’t need video proof for this. Other people are confirming it.
‘These people’ are generally replying to the suggestion that if people don’t like iOS because it it doesn’t allow sideloading, then why not buy Android?
From what you and others are saying, sideloading may not even be an appropriate term - you make it sound like you can just install software from the web on Android directly.

So you take an uncomfirmed report over video proof. Got it. No wonder your "facts" are all wrong.

Yes, that is the case. Sideloading is just the ability to install apps from somewhere other than the official store(s) on the device.

I take a a report from an honest and reasonable interlocutor who has demonstrated domain knowledge on HN over a random YouTube video, yes.
If there is a wrong fact that I have stated, you would be able to show an example.
Who are these people? The error message has always linked to the settings checkbox to allow installing the app. The only thing that has changed is which checkbox it links to because the settings for installing apps from unknown sources have changed. Here is a video of the way it used to be. I know that you're going to say that you don't believe video proof, but this is all I have for you.
