There are different methods of security, one where you assume the user is trusted but that the programs are not and one where you assume the user and the programs are not trusted.

iOS is the second version. Linux with flatpak and SELinux is the first one. It is certainly possible to secure Linux a lot while still allowing the user to tweak whatever they want. There is a tool called flatseal which lets you adjust the sandbox settings for any Flatpak.
