"Sideloading" is such a psyop.
You aren't sideloading. You're installing software on YOUR device. You made a choice for yourself. Google and Apple not sitting in the middle of that choice doesn't mean you did something different or lesser.
You installed software. Not through the side or in the back. You didn't act like a shady character in a dark alley. You didn't circumvent anything you weren't supposed to. You made a choice.
Fuck their terminology.
