It's not a contradiction. Removing that setting solves that problem, but it's not the only solution.

It also only solves that very specific problem. You don't need to side-load an app to scam someone. There's plenty of malware on the play store you can use. And, you don't need malware. There's plenty of legitimate apps you can use for scamming.

And, you don't need an app, I would imagine most scamming is done without an app.

So, really, we're solving a subset of a subset of a subset of a subset of the problem.
