      According to Google yes, because the Play Store is the “official” way of installing software.

      But personally I hate this mentality and I don’t want a centralized and controlled way of installing software

        Yes, exactly, adopting the term side loading into our common vernacular is exactly what they want us to do. They want us to view installing apps from places other than the Play Store as Bad™ and Dangerous™ so they can better control what we do.
