Why should i compile or jailbreak. Its my own device, why not have a toggle to allow sideloading like android.
Your average user won't know or even bother to change since as you mentioned they don't want to run unwanted code. Rest of us can run anything on our devices.

See the article right here on HN about Python devs applying for jobs and being prompted to self-pown. TL;DR: There are more people susceptible to fraudulent instructions by bad actors than there are people qualified to evaluate consequences of running unvetted code.
