It’s extremely on topic for the thread you responded to.

Google has a concerted effort to make “sideloading” bad, so they can remove it without public backlash

The next comment in the chain mentioned how auto manufacturers did the same thing, villainizing people using public spaces by calling it “jaywalking” until it became illegal to walk on public roads

That was done to take public spaces away from pedestrians and give it to cars

This is being done to take software outside of Google Play away and give the only profit to google
