The side-loading debate is an indirect reference and to talk about side loading it must first be decomposed.
Question 1 is should Apple be able to prevent an engineer from running software they want on their phone? Probably not.
Question 2 is should Apple be able to prevent a layman from running software they want on their phone with effort? Debatable.
Question 3 is should Apple be able to prevent a layman from running software they want on their phone easily? I think so.
Question 4 is should Apple be able to prevent an alternative app store? Yes. Definitely.
So should side loading be allowed depends greatly on which question a person is asking and what the "sideloading" reference is pointing to.
Should I be able to choose what medicines I want to take without a pharmacist/MD? I have a hard time with this because I think I should be able to ingest whatever I want and I think I am more intelligent than the average person, on the flip side, I think if I were a pharmacist, I would say absolutely not. If you asked me if anyone should be able to take any medication they want without blessing, I look at the ivermectin debacle and realize "probably not."
