Being able to download and install software from somewhere that isn't the app store has been available the entire time, it is not "new". I remember downloading .apk files and installing them on my first android phone, and it just worked. It wasn't until my 3rd or 4th phone that you had to start enabling "unknown sources" to install a .apk, and they have been working to make it harder ever since.
