I am not 100% clear on this. Is sideloading different from installing an APK from unknown source by simply taping on it?

It should be just called installing, but they call it sideloading to make it sound shady and complicated.

No that is side loading, and they're making it more difficult

If I understood correctly, installing an app from any source that's not GooglePlay or the official app store of the device manufacturer is 'side loading' in that regard. Thus, this also applies to e.g. F-Droid or Aurora.
