It's a *one-time* delay when you seek to turn off the protection that stops the user from side-loading apps.
To be honest, given how many security-blind people use Android now, I can live with this.
Time was when Android users were all "power users", like Linux users used to be. Those days are long gone.
A bigger issue is Google closing Android off from side-loading apps at all.

@PeterLG@theblower.au this makes no sense and will protect no one. I'm just going to be angry the next day when I either gain access to what I need or proceed to shoot myself in the foot, but angrily.
