Elaborate? Surely there will still be some hidden option to allow me to sideload APK files?

There will be a hidden workflow but it will require a 24h cooldown period. Even worse, it relies on google services and can be changed whenever Google wants to cut out sideloading completely.

Because they put the magic 'can't sue us' words in the EULA, which, as we all know, is the highest law of the land.

I think there is a way to allow this - the way involves a 24h wait time
