Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.

"Users are still able to": Means despite the block list in the operating system, users can still do following...

"sideload apps": ... install applications manually outside the app store...

"those that are not blocked": ... applications not in the known block list from the company.

I don't know how one can interpret this differently. Where does your "inside" and "outside" interpretation come from?

    You can sideload apps, whether they are on the blocklist or not. That's what the sentence* you quoted says. Well, that's what I interpret anyways. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I broke it down for you and explained each part. And that does not align with your interpretation. That's why I asked you where your interpretation comes from. "sideload apps those that are not blocked" means "sideload apps that are not on blocklist". Where does this paragraph states, that it allows to install apps whether they are on the blocklist or not? Could you explain it?
