#2Hasn't Apple always said the reason they don't allow sideloading was that it'd be impossible without compromising security? So are they claiming their European iDevices won't be secure anymore, or are they admitting they were lying before and that the real reason was nothing but greed?

They are required by European law to allow it, wether they see it as compromising security or not.
This isn't Apple's decision.

#6Good.
I personally agree with Apple’s stance. I don’t want developers of popular apps to be able to bypass Apple’s reviews and push dark patterns on users.
Before anyone talks about choice, I see this as akin to minimum wages and union memberships. There are some limitations of choices that often end up being beneficial to the average person. From the point of view of the user (if not the app developer) Apple’s walled garden provides me what I want.
If I wanted something more open, I would have gone with Android.
I am happy that Europe’s short-sightedness will not affect me.

They just have to make it hard to install apps outside the store, then apps that don't follow Apple's model won't get much of an install base and will have to comply anyway in the end.
Also, Android users seem to be discriminated in America for some reason (the green/blue bubble BS) , so the choice between Android and iOS is not as free as it seems.
