Android/iOS do sandbox user apps by default, for instance. When you run a script on Linux, it has access to everything your user has.

Access control is also more advanced, e.g. apps need to request permissions to the user. Not saying that desktop OSes are not making progress, but they are behind.

I don't know if Qubes qualifies here. Qubes runs Linux instances in VMs to compartmentalise them, but then each Linux instance has the Linux security model.
