Technically installing an app allows continuous spying instead of one-time offloading. It's an actual consideration with spyware like Pegasus: it might've been used as a bug to listen to offline conversations.

The OS is the spyware, they're ensuring you cannot remove it.

What % of users side load apps vs what % of users had someone else install a bug on their phone? It's a situation that statistically doesn't happen, and now *every* legitimate user is being inconvenienced to stop it? This if like agree verification laws being sold as "protecting children" as an excuse to spy on and control people.
