Why no app installer?

How come you cannot install apps from a folder on the Micro SD Card ?
My last phone would let me install apps if they were in a folder on the card already in the phone.

You can download an app from the play store.

Keep in mind that this is NOT a Warez forum.

Warez are copyrighted works distributed without fees or royalties, and may be traded, in general violation of copyright law. Warez are generally unauthorized releases by organized groups, as opposed to file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using adarknet. Warez are not usually commercial software counterfeiting. Warez was initially coined by members of the various computer underground circles, but has since become commonplace amongInternet users and the mass media.

Also, if you sideload apps, you have to be extra careful as such APK files might contain malware.

Excuse me!...
this is NOT about Warez..
I asked why there was no app installer on this phone...
Not about "sideloading".

Simple question...nothing else.
End of discussion!!

Sideloading apps = having an APK file that you want to install, it could be a game, app, widget, etc, that's sideloading, hence the warez post.

@Sneg0k2012

This is not supported by android, check the play store, there "might" be an app that could do that.
