Not too annoying for me since I have Calibre and can load it, but I cannot benefit from cloud libraries with this restriction.
With some trouble you can install the same free apps as on any other tablet.

Also you can use the browser on any Kindle to navigate to Gutenberg.org and click to download. Do you count this as 'sideloading' ?
