Wherever I ever see a comment complaining about sideloading, I just assume they're an Apple financed marketing shill.
Even if they're just a brainwashed moron, the argument is so stupid they deserve nothing but ridicule.
My biggest issue is cancelling recurring services. The Apple model requires that all your subscriptions appear on a pane of glass that you can notice if you signed up for a free trial and it’s been billing you $2.99/month because you wanted to read your kid Dr. Suess books on a flight when you were exhausted. Good luck figuring that out if you only have “$2.99 STRIPE BABELBOX INC” on your credit card bill.
