there is zero evidence this is true. none of those companies are asking users to sideload on Android.

Actually, there is much evidence. The Google Play Store is significantly less stringent on Android than iOS. For example, Google is estimated to get less than 1/10th the data from an iOS user as an Android user. The Play Store also, currently, doesn't effectively enforce the use of Google In-App-Purchase.

Because of that, there are less reasons to sideload away from the Play Store (from a company's perspective) as there are on iOS.

Starting from September 30, that's no longer the case.
