Is there a better word than "sideloading" for running programs chosen by the user without the manufacturer intermediating? I almost want to call it "running programs", as in "Apple plans to support running programs on its computers" ... but obviously that's not quite accurate.

No, that's quite accurate. Apple is now giving you permission to use the device that you own and paid money for, and before today, you couldn't use something you owned and paid money for.

Updates on-device are also an essential technology. Many apps are hamstrung by delayed updates due to a policy change from the app store.
