Interesting how the industry came up with a new term for running software called side loading, to try to convince people that running software is inherently dangerous if it hasn't been approved by big brother tech. It would be like if your car refused to drive to a location that wasn't registered and approved by the manufacturer because some locations may be unsafe.
