wasn't it always blocked by default? Google's always given a scare alert on sideloading apps, is this just an additional popup or is it replacing the stock one. Seems rather pointless if a setting and a waste of developer's resources if you ask me.
My phone randomly started quarantining basically every app that wasn't from the play store after my last update, annoying as hell.
That is super obnoxious, but I don't think it was supposed to do that judging by the article it's supposed to keep your existing settings it wasn't supposed to be forced on
