I can't read their mind. They mentioned revanced, so I addressed it. I absolutely see the issue and agree that there are instances where not being able to side load would be massively detrimental. I've never disagreed with that.

Please avoid commenting combatively on HN. Swipes like "white knight" can be avoided, and care should be taken to observe the guidelines, especially these ones:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
