    You’re not even good at whataboutism, lol. Changing one setting is not even comparable to Apple’s perfection. The message that you need to allow it first even takes you straight to the setting.

      So… More complex than the play store?

        Not really: You don’t need to log in. That is more effort than enabling sources ;)

        Don’t forget that registration also requires an email account! And a phone number! All of that is not necessary for sideloading in Android.

          You log in once when you buy the phone, for email, maps, calendar, play store, browser, messaging, drive, home automation, YouTube…

            And before that you need to register and validate your contact data. Even the act of that one login is more work than changing one setting to allow sideloading. Your point is just completely wrong.

              I did that in 2008, once. For sideloading you need to find the apk every single install and update. Several minutes, several times a week.

                  Who cares? I did it once and haven’t had to do it again. Zero tinkering. No looking for apks every day.
