Probably because "installing unsigned code from an unknown source" is a mouthful. Installing implicitly means "from within the walled garden" on these devices.

Sideloading doesn't mean it's unsigned. F-droid apps are signed for example. Sideloading just means "it doesn't pay neo-feudal taxes to either of the two duopolist lords".
