I like the term "direct install" which someone suggested in one of the previous threads.

You could certainly say that. But if you go up to a normal person on the street and say "Google has prevented you from installing apps on your phone", while they're still able to install from Google Play just fine, they're going to look at you like a crackhead.
Language is for conveying information to other people. If your audience doesn't understand what you're saying, you're effectively screaming into the void.
Would it be possible to exclude app store install from "Install", eg swapping positions with sideloading? The idea would be that "app store sideloads" are more like enabling features than installing something novel, and installs allow something unplanned to be enabled.
Or just "install". This word was sufficient my entire life until the Apple App Store came along and hijacked it.
