There are already android apps that allow you to ADB into your own phone without root, so you could VERY EASILY just make an app store that utilises that, you only need to install the app from desktop once
Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users

Yeah, if something like Obtanium needs to run on my desktop instead of my phone and I have to plug it in every once in a while, that’s not the end of the world.

I think adb can also work over Wi-Fi, just like Android Studio can connect to the phone and build and install without plugging it.
