More than 700 million devices currently run on HarmonyOS, with more than 2.2 million third-party developers creating apps for the platform, according to Huawei.
But the average user and most advanced users dont do any of that. Android always does that you cant do that. Android was build with security in mind. GNU/Linux is just a copy of earlier unix systems that didnt think about security. Android has the superior security architecture.
You can of course use QubesOS but from what ive seen its not user friendly and has very bad performance.
Flatpaks and other container solutions are actually fairly popular; my point is that Android potentially being more secure for beginners (which is not the case for most devices by default since they use proprietary versions of Android) doesn’t make it the most secure operating system, not by a long shot
the video is based on a hardened version of Android run on a device with no vulnerabilities or backdoors, and there’s nothing in it that shows Android as superior to hardened Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc. – it’s also important to note that the userspace permission system on Android, unless variants like GrapheneOS have massively improved this, is extremely underwhelming in terms of restricting access to your files since it doesn’t let you grant access on a file-by-file basis
