mobile operating systems review all the code that gets installed on every device

Security does not depend on code review. They have stronger sandboxing and have granular permissions that the user must allow. My point is running untrusted code securely should be the operating systems job. It is possible to do this at the operating system level, a browser is not required. The problem is the security model for desktop operating systems is ancient and has not kept up with today's requirements.
