Not really sure what your counterpoint is. Yes there are some up front fixed costs and slightly more steps, but like I said, it's just friction. You can still side load. Plenty of Android devices make it virtually impossible to side-load (Xiaomi) so your argument doesn't even work in the general case.
At this point the conversation veers off into arguments about lack of custom web renderers and JIT. I'll save you the trouble. iOS only allows safari wrappers because the kernel prevents mmap W^X to save Apple the support costs when Chrome gets a 0-day. That is the technical reason and it has nothing to do with side loading.

How's that going for them again? With the 0 days and kernel exploits? I'll agree it's better than Android but the overall is still smoke and mirrors IMO. You can have a non-safari browser boxed in non W^X env and it can work but JS might be trash. I really -do- want to experience the RDF sometime, can you help me? What am I doing wrong?
