So I guess you ARE saying that the scam and copycat apps that are CURRENTLY targeting iOS would vanish with sideloading? That NONE of those companies finding it quite profitable with sneaking iOS apps into the App Store would NOT target the same kinds of customers with even more scam and copycat apps from outside the store?
“Hey, it’s WAY easier to trick folks into downloading the apps from our website. BUT, instead of doing that, let’s keep on trying to sneak them onto the App Store. Why? Because! Everyone knows sideloading is magically free of scams and copycats, and we’re not going to be the scammy copycat company that changes that!”

I mean, it’s an opinion, I’ll give you that!
