Maliciously sideloaded? means the freedom users enjoy by not installing spyware-like application. Nowadays Security terms doesnt mean its for the users, that narrative is always with them.
Maliciously sideloaded doesn't mean all apps that were sideloaded are malicious, it refers to those that were sideloaded and are malicious, like the recent WhatsApp modded apps that have a Trojan, or apps installed via usb debugger exploits
