The problem is that all those apps go through Apple's app store. Sideloading goes through an app as well, as I understand. And you cannot sideload apps. You cannot buy anything in an app unless you funnel the money through Apple. Apps with other payment options are not allowed. Apps are only allowed access to the internet through Safari services. Everything goes through Apple approved channels (apps, data, money, sideloaded content). That is the basis of the ongoing law suit.
