Google call this "Advanced Flow" and it's intended to protect unwary 
users from being talked into installing unverified apps by scammers.  It 
is also linked to Google wanting more developers to be registered with them.

To enable side-loading now(?) or soon(?) they require you to turn on 
developer mode (acknowledging a warning in the process) then reboot your 
phone (to cut off any active phone call in the process) and go through a 
24 hour "cooling off period".
