What kind of apps are you installing? I’ve never ever had any issue with installing APKs on Samsung, you just have to allow the app that triggered it to install APKs one time and every subsequent time, it just works.
In some regions, afaik, you just CANNOT install certain apps without adb, this in my experience includes: KDEConnect, Fdroid, Newpipe…etc. The list changes time to time.
Pixel 8a on stock here. I have no idea what @Hawk is talking about. I just install any app, that I want. I might had to alter some settings, to do it, but I don’t remember doing that.
Huh? Downloading an apk and clicking open with -> package installer is nothing but straightforward.
It nags me a lot, sometimes downright blocks me from installing without adb shit. Samsung.

What region are you in if you don’t mind me asking? It works perfectly fine in Singapore.
This simply doesn’t work anymore for all apps on my Pixel 8.
Many I installed manually just redirect to the Play store with the message it could harm your device and you should download from Play.
Pixel 8a on graphene here so I’m not getting this. Maybe on stock
