if that's so "easy" for enterprise to get side loading to work, why eg. epic games won't go that route to provide apps outside app store? am i missing something?

Apple has a number of requirements that enterprises must meet [1] in order to be eligible for an enterprise distribution certificate. Apple can revoke the certificate at any time if they discover misuse, which would quickly become obvious if a large company such as Epic Games started publicly distributing their games this way.

Apple revokes enterprise certs that it discovers being used to distribute apps to users outside of said enterprise.
