Apple before implementing sideloading:

"We can't let users install unverified apps. Sideloading will make our devices less secure. "

Apple after they're forced to implement sideloading:

"We give users the freedom to install apps from outside the store. The iPhone is as secure as ever. "

I'm sure they're concerned about security, but the main reason is they don't want to give up their cut of any app sales.
