I don’t use iOS and have only been able to install many popular apps through APKs sourced from other sites like github and apkpure.
Ill admit I don’t know much about side loading but I think that only supports my original point that the average user isnt aware of less intuitive alternatives to the play store.
I’m vaguely familiar with fdroid, but thanks for linking. My understanding is that fdroid doesnt support automatic updates, though I might be wrong. I use obtainium instead.
Amazon store is indeed another option. Personally my issue with the Google play store is the sketchiness of the company though, so Amazon isn’t a good alternative for people like myself.
F-Droid searches for updated app versions automatically, downloads them when you’re connected to WiFi, and notifies you.
You then have to install them one by one manually, which is a bit annoying, yes.

Also Amazon has an app store for android as well.

There’s other frontends for fdroid available like neostore that handle it automatically
