It doesn’t matter, it still impacts the security of your device.

As things stand now, iOS wholly and completely rejects any apps that aren’t signed by Apple.

In the future, it won’t. It becomes far easier for someone to get a malicious app on your phone.

What do you mean by “iOS wholly and completely rejects any apps that aren’t signed by Apple”? I have sideloaded for ~10 years and still do so to this day. My apps work perfectly fine and it’s been years since I’ve had any issues with licenses getting revoked etc.
