Good luck getting a regular consumer to agree to all the scary warnings presente...

On Android, there isn't really a scary warning. You have to allow whatever app you're installing the apk from to install apps form "unknown sources". That's it. You only have to do it once per source.

On iOS, I'm sure the EU regulators will demand that Apple at least tone down their warnings.

What they should tone down is the requirement to share your app with Apple even if distributing it outside the store and to revenue share with them.

The warnings are just that.

I didn't even read the warnings to install fortnite, but it seemed Apple tried to make it as confusing as possible. Click install, go to settings, white list the provider, go back to the browser, click back to try installing again ... and then finally, click "yes I am sure" then click "yes I am sure" like 3 more times.

So complicated.
