With a 7 day expiration, max of 3 apps. It's more of a "developer account lite" testing tool than a bona fide sideloading mechanism.

A seven day expiration alone makes it useless. Why would anyone think side loading is supported when you can't open the app anymore after 7 days?

More likely to be iOS apologists looking for a narrative, they try it out and proclaim that it works, but have no intention to actually use their side loaded test app, so they don't even realize it only looked like it worked.

It automatically refreshes in the background. You can just set it and forget it. Not sure why people think it is complicated.
