I see that one of the bigger reasons why people want sideloading so bad is to pirate apps they don’t want to buy.
I can assure that a developer would likely take the 30% cut from the App Store versus trying your luck on other stores like Play Store, Galaxy Store, with the added risk of someone pirating your app and missing out on potential revenue.
Unpopular opinion but iOS doesn’t need sideloading. What does need sideloading is the goddamn iPad. It’s the most neglected product by Apple and giving it sideloading capabilities allows devs to make the most out of the M1/M2 chip.
Only reason that you don't want side loading is if you support Apple's unethical business practices. Nobody is forcing you to sideload apps. I'm thrilled to be able to sideload
How is it unethical? It’s Apple’s business. If you don’t like Whopper Whopper Whopper then get a Big Mac. Free Market? Hello?
