why Apple switched to USB-C worldwide, but only allows side-loading in EU?

To comply with the EU legislation, Apple pushes changes to its software, allowing for example side-loading of applicatons in iOS 17.4 and later. But, this change is only applied to iPhones resided in EU.

To comply with another legislation from the same EU, Apple has changed iPhone 15’s charger port to USB-C. But this one, they do on global scale. EVERY iPhone 15 has USB-C, EVERY iPhone from now on will have USB-C port.

Why does it worth the hassle to ship different software in different parts of the world, but not worth it to do the same with hardware?

You will need a Flipper Zero to spoof GPS to sideload with wifi and cellular off, just like precision air tags.
