The AppStore review process is what enforces you have a sensible sandbox, why would a sideloading App Store enforce those, they don’t care about platform security.

As for “don’t install it if I don’t want to” you mean don’t I stall any software that insists on sideloading.

That's how it works for websites, it's even more straightforward, your browser just runs the code as it's downloaded and I don't recall many issues with that. Maybe Apple should improve their security in their sandbox if it's not ready for normal installs?
