You can install APKs directly on Android. It only takes one not-that-scary checkbox.

Yes, you can. I can. The average consumer? I would never suggest my parents check that box. In fact, I would advise against it in very strong terms.

I'm not saying Android doesn't offer that freedom to some. I'm saying most people don't (and shouldn't) use it.
