Sideloading isn't always under the control of the user. Thus removing the option gives more control.

It's not like removing a hole in your city wall gives you less control over entry into your city, even though it does remove a method of entry.

I don't see how removing the option gives more control. If you want more control why not just add a confirmation step the first time the extension is loaded, and make it possible/easy to remove it?

In you analogy it doesn't give the users of the hole more control of how they get in to their city, it gives the city gate controllers more control.

This doesn't give users more control, it gives less.

People who wanted to control their own 'hole' might have wanted to let people in that the city elders didn't care for.
