What to expect from WWDC 2022 - and what not to
Hopefully Apple announces that it embraces Matter protocol for HomeKit in the next OS updates. Also Apple will need to tweak bandwidths WiFi 6e and Bluetooth to further AV/VR and device interoperability speeds.
AppleTV needs to "fix" its airplay Safari issues - screen cropping and poor cursor response, or provide a true web browser and file manager/preview option.
iCloud still has issues and lack of large capacity storage options.
Maps needs to incorporate Lat/Long (in both formats) GPS for both reference as well as destinations (for off roading/camping/biking).

There's a hack to add CarPlay support to a Tesla

AltStore allows limited sideloading of iPhone apps Apple doesn't approve
I don't see this as a problem. Apple's Developer program allows for developers to side load apps, and to allow others to side load via its TestFlight app through the Developers Apple account, generally for testing purposes. The concern raised in this article is that the developer is then using that process to allow others to side load through his Developer account. In other words he is a contract App Developer. Corporations do this frequently when creating and distributing internal apps for Apple devices all the time. This Developer is not selling apps created and installed outside of the Apple Developer framework.
Furthermore this Developer, rightly, is concerned about potential privacy and security issues for some of the apps he and his clients have created and wants to internally develop additional protocols (above and beyond Apple's usual Developer review) on his side before side loading.
The article isn't clear on this, but I am assuming that none of the apps are publicly "sold" outside of the Apple App store - rather they are utilized only by the Developer and his clients.
Finally, I agree with the developer and others that a wide and general opening to the public of side loading is inappropriate.
