> Sideloading is like buying a car and upgrading it with NOS. Yeah it's wonderful. Your going to have a very powerful car. But the risks also increase. Most people don't need NOS in their car.

No, sideloading is freedom. Imagine that car manufacturer put a part in your car that only works if: * watch ads or pay $ every month * collects all your information * has fake freedom to install only parts from their store that follow previous two points * extorts authors of parts for 30%

all while smugly saying "take it or leave it".
