You're comparing a security model to... apps? I don't see how that makes sense.

Apps you install on Linux can do more than apps you install on Android, period. That's part of the security model.

Of course I like that I am an admin on my computer, but I don't need that on my phone. And one can enable root on Android and still keep the apps sandboxed...
