What's the problem? you can disable it, and, for example, I don't want my 80 yr old mother sideloading stuff. It's not like Apple where you just CAN'T do stuff.
the problem is the one we're gonna have in a few years if nobody steps in now and does something
cough cough EU please
she already can't unless she specifically enables sideloading
And that popup probably scares her away from doing it anyway.
