It wouldn’t solve anything. It would allow for one thing while simultaneously introducing a host of entirely different problems.
Also, sideloading is already legal and Apple allows it. It’s how things like AltStore exist.
AltStore - 3 app limit (AltStore counts as an app), every app needs to be resigned once every week Requirement to bypass: $100/year (dev account)
The majority of users do not and would not use sideloading so, although cumbersome, the limit is perfectly acceptable in 99.9% of cases.
