Why would it be a huge undertaking? Allowing installing apps from package files obtained from anywhere seems like a trivial change to the software for a company with a lot of resources.
Doesn’t Apple already allow side loading to some degree?
You can just put an app onto a iDevice through iTunes, without having to run it through the App Store. Apple even puts out a specifically outdated version of iTunes that still retains much of the App functionality.
It’s not as though they’re trying to build the feature in from scratch.

Hoe does Apple comply ,
They have until 2024 to comply
Law comes into effect march 2024. Apple will need to comply then
Watch how they will act like it was their decision.
AFAIK they have no way of doing that. This would be a huge undertaking.

I have a few side-loaded apps on my phone through TrollStore. iirc they don’t support anything relatively new though.
