At the advent of the iPhone, I was 100% all-in on the Apple ecosystem. However, the lack of sideloading pushed me to Android and over time I've become more and more satisfied with that choice, even though I rarely sideload applications.
I want my operating system vendor to protect me by building in strong, granular controls over my software and making it easy for me as a user to control my application software. Apple has done that with iOS (yay!) but those capabilities have little to do with the App Store review process, which is used to collect rent and block competitors to their services business model. Apple leadership continues to be disingenuous in conflating these two things.
