Making it the same as apple's walled garden.

I can see a bunch of jailbreaking altered android versions coming along.

This is how the new process to sideload works

This advanced flow is designed to eliminate the threat of being forced to download malicious software by coercion from scammers. It's a one-time process that consists of the following steps:

• Enable developer mode from system settings
• Confirm you aren't being coached by anyone, potentially a scammer
• Restart your phone, which should basically cut off a scammer's access to the target device
• Wait for a day, this allows you time to think and consult with trusted relations about what you're about to do. It reduces the "manufactured urgency" typically generated by scammers as pressure tactics
• Install apps from unverified sources, either for a period of seven days, or indefinitely. However, Google will still warn you each time you attempt to sideload an app from an unverified developer.
