Android has different security guarantees compared to desktop/server Linux. E.g. people should expect that none of the installed software can hijack the phone completely and that most damage from malware should be mitigateable by uninstalling malicious app.

People would be right to expect that no installed software can hijack the desktop completely as well, but unfortunately that is very much not the case.
