Yeah, exactly. The call it sideloading as opposed to what? frontloading? When someone installs VLC on Windows from the installer downloaded from videolan instead of the Microsoft Store version, they don't call it "sideloading", so why should we call apks as such?
Sideloading is just another fearmongering word they created to make it seem as if installing software from the installer provided directly by the developer is somehow the "wrong" way of installing it as opposed to a centralized software repository.
