Android has had sideloading for like a decade and no major app is installed via sideloading. Its entirely used for beginner developers, open source repos and piracy. The inconvenience of being out of store is bigger than the benefits of being in store. I think ultimately epic does not want the solution to be sideloading since they are having the same issues on android. They want to be on the app store and to have no fees.
