Sideloading is such a horrible term for “installing apps without Apple’s approval”. And Apple illegally even tries to STILL require their approval.

I agree. I have no idea when "sideloading" as a term became a thing when it's just plain old "installing software".

I would argue the same reason "quiet quitting" has become more of a norm. Corporate interests that are pushed to various media that becomes 'standard'.
