The difference here from my understanding of what I read was that you could now open the Google Play Store and type “fdroid” and the fdroid app could be installed with the single install button.
I guess my only question is what then happens when you want to disable the Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Mind you, anybody who uses custom ROMs and such likely does not sign into the Google accounts anyway, so would not be able to download a third-party app store from the Google Play Store because they refuse to sign in. And Google Play requires sign in.

Yea that’s exactly it, no more side loading needed.

Nothing different. You download the F-Droid APK and install it just like you do today.
