Android works just fine with the Play Store being locked down but enabling other sources being trivial if you know where to look.

Heck, even Apple isn’t a stranger to this way of doing things. For like a decade now Mac’s Gatekeeper has given you a warning that is easily bypassed when you try to install something that isn’t either from the Mac App Store or from a third-party with an Apple code signing certificate.
