As announced a couple of weeks ago, power users always have an option to enable sideloading of unregistered APK files through an advanced flow that requires an authentication step to confirm they are taking this step of their own volition and a one-off, 24-hour waiting period to deter scammers.

Sure. That's the reason why they're introducing a 24-hour delay. Not because they want to make it miserable so people stop side loading.

The process is different the first time you install an app, regardless of from where. And you know this. Its also detailed in the OP. I'm not sure why you're pretending not to, except to be a contrarian.
