Yes, and macOS/iOS have XPC which is similar to the Binder. Binder is a BeOS era thing. Parts of Android were written by former Be engineers so the API terminology is the same (binders, loopers, etc).

Binder is also somewhat like Mojo in that you can do fast in-process calls with it, iirc. The problem is that, as you note, this isn't very useful in the Android context because within a process there's no way to keep a handle private. Mojo's ability to move code in and out of processes actually is used by Chrome extensively, usually either for testing (simpler to run everything in-process when debugging) or because not every OS it runs on requires the same configuration of process networks.
