Sideloading, too.
For a second I was thinking about chromebooks because you can't install native packages and only install apps from Play Store. Till I remember that you can enable app-dev mode to install any .apk (sideload). But does it count? I need to enable dev-app mode which can't be reverted. Additionally it annoys you on the lock screen with a red text that this chromebook has unverified packages. You can always enable it without any further downsides.
But at least you can install natively Linux on any Chromebook like a normal x86 Laptop or ARM64 Device.
No, the EU wants sideloading on iOS starting from 2024 iirc.
For all IPhones or only new ones?
For all the iphones getting updated in 2024 although they mentioned with iOS 17. In EU. Dunno if Apple will extend the thing outside Europe.
