>Users that are susceptible to security problems don't have the technical know-how to even do something as simple as sideloading. Those who are technical enough usually are not the entry point for malware.
If sideloading is made too difficult for average users, it would totally negate the anti-trust (competitive) benefits of forcing the platform open in the first place.
Either governments make sideloading easy and approachable to the masses, and accept the UX/security/privacy risks involved, or they make it cumbersome, and accept the continuation of the App Store monopoly.
