Apple on Thursday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down an order requiring changes to its App Store rules stemming from an antitrust case brought by "Fortnite" owner Epic Games.
If sideloading were legal, it would definitely solve the issue. Apple’s main objective is to maintain the security of its devices and the App Store. However, the company’s strict policies can be a hindrance to some users who want more control over their devices. Allowing sideloading would permit advanced users to install any applications they want, but it would also increase the risk of security breaches.

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.
