Then kindly reveal which Android devices are this crippled - not being able to install software the normal way, via ADB - so we can avoid them.

I also wonder: how can you develop on them? Android Studio would fail app deployment, the way you tell it.

You don't develop on them. That's the point.

One device I know of that doesn't allow sideloading or developer mode is the Ratta Supernote A5X/A6X.
