The way this is designed appears to be entirely intentional and sensible. Yes, you can still install malware using ADB. It's just harder. That seems really sensible. It's a speed bump, but not a prohibition.

I also haven't seen any specific examples of software that's frequently sideloaded that would be unjustly discriminated against.

Alternative app stores. See Epic v. Google.

I’m an Apple user, but above all I value choice. Isn’t the point of Android that it’s an open ecosystem?

ADB is arguably worse than what Apple did in the EU for sideloading to abide court orders, and Apple was lambasted.
