Like hacking, sideloading is now a loaded & misunderstood term. It is considered as something only nerds or bad actors do.

Let's just call it alternate install.

How about calling the other one "installing from the play store"? installing was there first.

Exactly. Let's invent a word for "installing from play store". Playstoring?

So we can rewrite the story to something like: Google wants to prohibit app installation on Android phones. The only way to get an app would be through playstoring.
