Even worse, suppose one of the software libraries that you compiled it against has a newly-discovered security bug...and you/BP have no way to track who has it installed to tell them to update it manually?
I can tell you from four decades of working IT in the real world (TM) that any side-loaded app is an insta-fail on a corporate device audit. Ask me how many times I had to yell at myself for not installing an update on my work-issued iPhone, because it showed up at the very top of the remote audit exception reports? As my former CIO used to say, we have to eat our own dog food when it comes to security, procedures, change control, etc.....
