Is sideloading of apps unrevocable?

• brudgers 10y ago
  Because Microsoft is primarily a B2B company and makes a lot of enterprise sales, I suspect that from a practical perspective removing it would require an impractically radical shift in its business model and sales channels. Before Bring Your Own Device, there was bring your work home. Windows is to a meaningful degree a business class product sold to consumers. Removing sideloading from normal Windows would make Windows less attractive as a standard platform for enterprise if people cannot use line of business apps on any old device. Of course, that doesn't make it irrevocable. But revocation seems unlikely to me.
