In many ways non mobile computers are very much still stuck in 1999. Android is significantly more secure than other Linux systems because it's much younger and had the chance to integrate mandatory access control into the entire stack.
Unless your Android doesn’t get any security updates anymore.

That is a well know and entirely different issue
Is it?
The claim is Android is much more secure than other Linux, but if 40% of all Android devices don‘t get a security patch and you can’t even do it yourself I would call the more secure per se.
Hardening is one part of security, patchability another. Android lacks in the latter.
