As in, no side loading at all on Sammy devices? I find that hard to believe. You mean more restrictions on installing just some but not all APKs, right? That’s still scummy either way if true.
I once read that uninstalling packages with ADB on Xiaomi phones would make it even more painful to unlock the bootloader. It’s probably just a one off half truth but even that made me be wary of just uninstalling things - but yeah this means whenever someone wants to sideload something on a Samsung they need to follow a tutorial at best, that’s blegh.
There’s also some fucker named “Automatic Blocker” on (Samsung’s (?)) Android devices that is on by default, which prevents installation of APKs.

You CAN disable it (heck, you can even remove the package via ADB). But it’s still annoying that it’s the default.

oh, yeah…
Xiaomi is a pain in the ass.
True. They’re nice in some ways, but not all the ways.
