I find that many iphone people have a misconception that Android is locked down too. It's extraordinarily common and I don't know why. I use the non play store install feature for a few things. For example, I go to Telegram's site and download an APK of it because it lets me look at channels that are explicitly censored by versions downloaded from the Google Play and Apple App store. I do this all on stock, non-root Android.
