yet another useless
featureannoyanceAndroid already blocks sideloading by default at an operating system level.
Which is a sensible choice security-wise.
it is, the useless annoyance is what Samsung is introducing

Sorta
I'm just pointing out that the entirety of Samsung's Android adds literally nothing of value to the user to the android experience and only serves to, at best, annoy. Not just this one particular feature.
I think perhaps something has gone wrong with the phrasing or something, because it seemed you were saying the exact same thing but .. less clearly?
it is, the useless annoyance is what Samsung*'s Version of Android* is
which now I edit that so it doesn’t have a strike through I actually understand what you mean. It was a bit difficult to parse that originally
My bad
no. the notion that sideloading is bad for security is apple propaganda
Is it? Android already disables sideloading by default, requires each source to ask for permission, and prompts the user before each install. How does Samsung's additional setting improve security?
Apple should take this approach
Not really
You can disable it by default
