Sidelading apps on android is never technical anyone could install an apk. It's just the safety that you need to be technical when doing so. Also fuck my phone which doesn't allow unlockibg bootloader

At least on Samsung phones, they used to have you open the Settings (this is enough to deter 50% of non technical users) and look for an allow button which is protected by two fullscreen danger warnings (there goes the other 50%)

Mine is vivo, and there is no known way of safely unlocking bootloader

You're over estimating common users

All my homies know how to install apks. Almost nobody knows to install custom roms, let alone the phone having ability to install so
