The Google page I read was the opposite of that. The first time you unlock sideloading, they’ll warn you and make you wait for a day. From then on it’s unlocked.
While I hate Google with a passion, and don’t trust them at all, this seems like a reasonable way to handle the issue of non tech people being coerced into sideloading unsavory apps by scammers.
The way I understood it is you have to wait 24 hours every time, not just for activating dev options.
Edit: apparently I was mistaken.

It just sounds like they came up with an excuse to try and be non-compliant with the European Union’s ruling that they’re an illegal Monopoly

Edit: Worst is the word.
