1. The app review process is largely ineffective. The idea that it protects anyone is a myth encouraged by Apple to feed their profit margins. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/06/06/apple-a...

2. If Apple ever allows sideloading, it will inevitably involve installing Xcode, connecting your phone to your laptop with a USB cable, running obscure shell commands and clicking through scary warnings. Do you really think your grandparents are capable of doing this, let alone being tricked into it?
