I disagree with this claim. in desktop OS usually all programs run in the user's context, hence they can access each other's data without much effort, unless the other program prompts the user for a password each time. in Android different apps are isolated from each other's user data. any windows malware can steal your wallet.dat. not so in Android.
of course the system itself has the required privileges, and privilege escalation is s thing. but there are also good reasons to prefer mobile from a security perspective.
