How does sideloading benefit end customer? What are the risks? Why was this not allowed before?

AD 1 - more freedom, more apps available and possibly lower prices for apps.

AD 2 - I don't want to go into that rabbit hole but if you stick to Appstore, nothing changes for you.

AD 3 - less money for Apple

Maybe a lot of people switch from Android to Apple. It could turn out as win in the end. Imagine, one person buys 1 iPhone for 1300€ that would have bought otherwise android. How many 30% cuts are needed to match 1 sold iphone?

I say, in europe there might me millions of people that switch to iphone.
