        AFAIK they have no way of doing that. This would be a huge undertaking.

          Doesn’t Apple already allow side loading to some degree?

          You can just put an app onto a iDevice through iTunes, without having to run it through the App Store. Apple even puts out a specifically outdated version of iTunes that still retains much of the App functionality.

          It’s not as though they’re trying to build the feature in from scratch.

          Why would it be a huge undertaking? Allowing installing apps from package files obtained from anywhere seems like a trivial change to the software for a company with a lot of resources.
