"those who give some freedom for security will have none of both" or so.
you gave up the hability to install apps from anywhere (to the point that if im at yelp own site for example, all the links to install their own app only takes me to app or play store) in exchange of the false premise that the downloads would be verified by apple/google as to not harm you. in the ens you just lost your freedom to do as you wish and now you are more exposed to threats because you assume they are safe since they came from the "official" place.
