It looks like a glorified ‘developer mode’ switch that has the 1 day wait to prevent someone from grabbing your phone, turning on sideloading, installing some hazardous app, and then having their way with your info. This appears to be the best of both worlds. Like when unlocking your bootloader wiped your info. Just do it first. not a year in to using your device, if thats your plan.

Lmfao. I’ll invent a better way and it will only take me negative 50 years to do it. Passcode. There is absolutely nothing positive about this. It is only nefarious, full stop. I could open a million dollar restaurant that served microwaved cat shit, but on the menu it’s called “Tbone Steak” and with your logic, people wouldn’t notice the difference.

If they're already into your phone there's so many legitimate ways to extract your data. The ability to sideload an app won't impact that.
