The problem with that (from Apple's perspective) is that the number of users who are going to somehow get tricked into toggling the 'allow from unknown sources' switch and get their phones messed with is almost certainly larger than the number of people who would legitimately be happy from having the capability.

No person is going to accidentally be tricked into doing that by a popup window, but it's easy enough for people that actually care. (Even Google's Chromebook strategy is good; a hardware switch.)
