It's certainly multiple things, but some things take precedent. If Apple allowed people to install third-party App Stores, then the freedom would take precedent and nobody would be throwing rocks at them.
You can use enterprise provisioning, which uses the same mechanics, to install apps on devices you manage.

There are lots of places that run iOS on private networks with no internet access or Apple ID.
