So when I install an app from Fdroid, it’s only “installing” if lots of other people do it? But if other people don’t use it as much it’s “sideloading”?
Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users

“lots of other people” was not the words I used.

Why? That's a perfect example. There is no qualitative difrence between Microsoft Store and Play Store. Why quantitative difference in the market share would make any distinction in the terminology we use around the process?

I’ve already explained why. I don’t know what more there is to say. If you don’t get it, that’s okay.
