This isn't a value judgement, but if enough users sideload or use the open market governments will probably have to step in to advocate permissions checking because Apple won't have the influence to regulate developer behavior on their platform(s). You can sort of see this on other platforms - the Mac App Store has very few quality apps listed on the store and Apple is further moving towards locking down root permissions b/c users can download apps or install software from anywhere on the web. It's typical for users to install anti-malware software on new Android devices, etc.
