Every user installed application is sandboxed with a far better permission model than rare sandbox usage on desktops, there are much more modern exploit protections, far more code is written in memory safe languages especially for Android, there's far less attack surface and far more work on systemic privacy/security such as MAC/MLS policies and more.

Verified boot is useful far beyond physical attack vector such as preventing privileged attacker persistence. It's a misconception that it's only useful against physical attacks. The Windows and desktop Linux ecosystem secure boot is incomplete both prior to the OS and for the OS. It doesn't provide the expected benefits.
