You missed the bad news about Android :( Though I'm not sure why they made the "remove" vs. "revoke" distinction.

That trial they'll be running isn't even live yet, and isn't even set in stone, either, and is limited to just a few countries in APAC. So, even with the news, it's still 2y away at a minimum for the US/EU.

Part of the big success of sideloading is that few people are doing it in the US/EU, so the attack surface is smaller as a result.
