The problem here is that the EU, which would normally be the only hope to put a stop to bullshit like this, seems to like this.

It's easy. For the average user, device integrity is more valuable (by a lot) than side loading.

People that think this is unacceptable are not remotely average users. Average users benefit greatly from their pocket appliance not being a full fledged computer.

Id argue that the average user is not a good barometer. They are okay with slowly being boiled alive. See windows 11 as a good example.

What's being sacrificed in the name of security is not worth it imo.

Enabling side loading on android is not a standard setting you can flick on. Is there any data on the number of devices who have this enabled and are falling for hacked apps?
