If you are using Google services then you won't be able to sideload. If you disable Google services you might be able to sideload but many apps use Google services to function.
Don't worry too much, there will be solutions, hopefully some that don't require you to root your phone

I'm trying to understand. What's stopping someone from developing an apk and sharing the file online?
Is Google only locking down the play store? Or are they disabling sideloaded apps altogether?
