That could still be maintained with side-loading though?
If the side-loaded app wants access to the GPS location, then the only way to get it is though the OS Location API which is what presents the Permission Dialog.
The same goes for any other permissions.
As part of the side-loading, any permissions that will be requested within the App could be presented to the user by the OS.

The first-half: a declaration of requested sandbox permissions is a technological problem with a straightforward solution, while the second-half is a soft, squishy, "human" problem.
