You mean the same judge that just told Apple they had to allow third party payments, because they are a monopoly? And, isn’t the exchange of money the biggest concern with social engineering attacks in this context? This completely nullifies the spirit judicial ruling from 4 years ago that social engineering is mitigated from the App Store distribution model.
The judge called Apple’s insubordination a “gross miscalculation.“

I can actually be certain side loading won’t impact you if allowed. Making it an opt in feature will ensure only those who want to allow side loading do use it - contrary to your belief this model works on ChromeOS just fine. Plus, all iOS apps are ran in a sandboxed environment almost like containerized applications in the enterprise. The OS won’t allow one app to gain access to system resources that aren’t allocated to it. Also, you don’t let applications have root access to the system. Letting apps have root access will get you in trouble. Thankfully Unix like operating systems account for this, and Apple has done a good job taking this a step further. The framework exists to run sideloaded apps safely.
I mean, you do realize all you need is an active dev account to run third party apps outside of the App Store? Heard of the AltStore?

I told you the mechanism exists and that Apple’s business model is the only thing holding the platform back. You don’t seem bothered by this existing functionality, so I’m not sure why you keep arguing. I just don’t want to pay $99 every year to use it…
Again, the bigger threat to cyber security is social engineering. You seem to downplay that fact, because you don’t understand the key principals of information security. You think being a nanny is the only way to keep people safe.
