      I would be in favour of this if you needed to enable a special mode on iOS that would block people from using Apple ecosystem apps and services. No App Store, no iCloud, etc to prevent un-curated 3rd party apps from potentially exploiting those services.

      So people have the choice to use Apple ecosystem and no sideloading, or you can enable “side load” mode (with lots of warnings beforehand), which locks the phone out of the Apple ecosystem until the phone is completely reset.

      Would help keep malware and such at bay, while still enabling those that want the flexibility for their own devices, and also means that I don’t need to worry about my parents messing up their phones because they’d never enable side load mode.
