I have heard that it might be possible to hack your Mac laptop (using a setting in System Preferences>Security&Privacy>General) to allow it to run code on that isn't from Apple's App Store.

There is no lock preventing you installing non-Apple executable. Theres a warning and such but I install apps from third parties all the time. There are even several package managers, macports and homebrew, that will install userland unix binaries for you.

Where is that setting on the iPhone and iPad?

There isn't one because the iPhone/iPad is a closed ecosystem, whereas macOS is not.

There are pro's and con's to both models; choose the one that works best for you. Even if it's not Apple :)
