I just don't find this very compelling. It's fine for me if the "default mode" of use for Apple's products is a filtered, curated experience. If users have to jump through even a few hoops to side-load apps, 99% of casual users will not do it.

We already see this on PCs with competing game distributors (Steam, Origin, Epic) - we'd see the same on iOS too.
