Is that so much better? You can do the same on iOS now, if you have a mac, by sideloading from the mac.

So not the same, then.

Used to work for a company bug testing their app. We used a service called installr which worked on both devices. On iOS you installed a certificate/profile and on android, it downloaded an apk which then got installed manually. 100% of the time it was easier and quicker on iOS. And this was downloaded from the internet, not a mac.
