> You are correct in lampooning the word "force" but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. The point is still valid.
I have yet to see one, client, customer, friend, acquaintance, relative (or rando who happened to know I'm an IT guy) sideload an app without knowing what they were doing & having a good reason to do so.
The list of those who sideloaded is small. However, my list of technically hapless folks is much, much larger - and zero of them seem to have sideloaded anything ever. There's a fair chance I'd wind up knowing if they did.
Even my often homeless ex who's down with plugging any connector into any port at any time of day (shapes need not match) doesn't seem to have sideloaded. Certainly her devices are always in a Sideloading=Off state when I check (she is not now a developer!).
From an IT view, unintended sideloading looks like a low priority concern.
