The comment is arguing that if Meta were to change the rules, they could easily block such sideloading of APKs by pushing out a simple system update. I don't think they will given the backlash, but the possibility is there.

How do you block sideloading of apps on Android?

Surely Meta employs software developers who can remove any feature from Android they want? Or is blocking side loading specifically disallowed by Google for some reason?
