Or, they could do the most sensical version of implementing side-loading, just like literally every Android device does: have it turned off by default, and then when you try to install something you get a box saying your settings don't allow installing software from third party sources such as nefarious-apps.com due to the risks associated with malware, etc.; would you like to enable that?
Oh look, your problem is 100% mitigated because the user was warned and chose to do that anyway. Literally millions of devices already do this, and we don't hear of mass-bricking events and whining towards Google because a user chose to do stupid, do we?
