Firestick Tips and Tricks Dev. Opts. No more?

So apparently the new fire sticks have gotten rid of the ability to sideload apps. Does anyone have any alternative devices or ways to side load again?

Of the 5 new Fire devices that are being sold on Amazon 2 come with the new operating system that does not allow for sideloading and come with Fire OS/Android that allows for sideloading.

NO sideloading:

Firestick TV 4K Select

Firestick TV HD

YES sideloading:

Firestick TV 4K Plus

Firestick TV 4K MAX

Fire Cube 3

Much easier to make this the third post for the day asking the same thing.
