Why couldn't both be true?

How would app review work?

The whole point is that there would be no app review for independent apps.

It's not a technical change in who distributes the software, it's a radical change that results in developers being able to give apps to users without being in a contractual relationship with Apple period.

I'm not sure I follow the chain of comments here. It seems that not having a review would result in less security, which is the context to my comment.

AppStore pretty much only does a “grep -r porn” on every app, hardly meaningful “security”. If anything, it’s best at mysteriously flagging competitor apps.
