Comment on Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to

But the sideloading flow via dev options that they have revealed doesn’t require that and it’s easy to do…

From what angle is it easy to do?

Enable developer mode (using a hidden process where you have to know where to find it)

Go through a scary form

Restart the device

Wait 24 hours?!

Go to the settings again

Do some more scary confirmations

Check another scary checkbox

And then… confirm again every single time you install an app

And you are telling me it’s easy to do? I can go publish a diet tracking app and Aunt Flo will happily go through this and I won’t lose customers?
