In China, if app developers were allowed to sideload apps on iOS, they could take advantage of the situation by coercing users to download full-featured and unrestricted apps directly from their own channels. This would enable them to exploit users' privacy and add bloatware, such as embedding the code of cloud-based games like Genshin Impact into unrelated apps (as they've already done on Android), or even loading much of the UE4 engine onto users' phones through the installation of seemingly innocuous chat apps. These actions would allow developers to bypass Apple's restrictions.

I’m sure that’s coming soon.
