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.

It's already in the text in the OP. If you can't read it or refuse to acknowledge it, me rewriting it is not going to help you.

    Clearly we are reading different articles in that case, or I must've really missed the bit you're so staunchly referring to.
    Or maybe you can, I dunno, quote whatever bit of text you're so staunchly referring to?
