Facebook themselves convinced teenagers to side-load an iOS app that used Facebook’s enterprise cert to circumvent Apple’s privacy protections. They got caught and Apple revoked the cert, which broke all their internal iOS apps.

If Facebook is willing to fool kids into giving up their privacy via side-loading, you can imagine why Apple is nervous about how things would go if anyone could easily do so.
