I see zero trouble as long as it requires no additional identification, no additional payment, and no mandatory time limit for the sideloaded apps.

That is, fine by me. I can wait for 24 hours once in a few years when I acquire a new mobile phone.

Why would you do all that to install an app in a device that you own? It's bollocks.
