Using the official store has too many benefits.

Can you imagine being a student and being told you have to install this app from a third party store?

That’s just a terrible model for user safety and security.

iOS safety measures do not rely on the App Store. The whole sandboxing and permissions model is there to protect one app from accessing things it shouldn't.
