might want to clarify; it was made to sound like the indication for sidestream was a non-intubated patient and mainstream was an intubated patient. You can use sidestream in non-intubated patients (as you said) AND intubated patients. This is how you monitor end tidal volatile agents along with end tidal CO2 in the intubated patient (sidestream monitoring).
