You’re missing the point. It is “just” the act of downloading and installing, which were seen as normal things to do. However, by calling it “sideloading” they can then attach any meaning, any implication they wish. This is now something different and wierd, not something normal people do, does your mom sideload? I’m pretty sure the battle for control of your phone that you bought was lost as soon as we allowed them to call it sideloading.
“Sideload” is such a dumb name for what is just the act of installing apps of your own choosing.

I’m not missing any point at all, your post is in essential agreement with mine, lol.
