But it is. I installed F-Droid by visiting a website, so it's definitely possible. Maybe you're talking about Apple specifically? Afaik, there's no way to do that on iOS (though I read a related article about it recently, I think it was here), so if you want that, petition Apple. There's no law preventing it given that Android devices can do it, so it's just an Apple policy, and you can always install apps through XCode if you want to.
