Good.

It means you can trust the App Store less and less. Which weakens Apple's argument against sideloading (that the App Store is a trusted source). Make it more trashy so we can argue it's not the trustworthy place it once was.

Or maybe that's the idea, App Store ads are going to make up for the revenue lost to sideloading?

I expect Apple to lock down sideloading like Google. Tim Apple didn't donate gold for nothing.
