Nobody is forcing you to delete the Apple app store and sideload apps. Don't want that experience? Don't sideload apps and don't use alternate app stores. Literally no one is forcing you to install apps another way. Just because the feature is there, doesn't mean you have to use it.

Until, for example, google deploys its app through its own App Store, with its own “privacy” rules.

Or epic: another company that has a novel approach to use privacy

Or Facebook

Etc, etc

The only option goes “the AppStore with its various restrictions and protections” or “miscellaneous parties with a vested interest in destroying your privacy and/or complete lack of any review”
