David has an ATT Android phone. He's competent to make such a
proclamation.

Also, it has been widely reported in Engadget, Gizmodo, Ars
Technica, blah, blah, blah.

If you wanted a fact check, why didn't you Google for one?

Relevant terms could be "ATT Android disable sideload"

You would also find that there are several ways around, ranging
in severity from "use the adb dev tool to load via USB" to "root
your Android".
