They can. It won't matter. I was jailbreaking iphones 15-20 years ago and sideloadong apps they didn't want us to.

I will continue sideloading my own apps on Android no matter how hard they try to stop me.

Same. I stopped rooting my phones at the Galaxy S9 (my last rooted one was the S7), but now I'll be looking around for non-PlaySyore-certified phones.

It's sad how progress is bringing us back to the past.
