Android is Linux. There could easily be a secure-boot desktop Linux too if companies cared to target that platform with things like banking apps.

Not really, it makes use of Linux kernel, cages it on pseudo-microkernel architecture since Treble and Mainline refactorings, uses a Java userspace, and the NDK has a quite clear list of what APIs are allowed to be called.

That's still on the Linux kernel. The userspace differences aren't what make it possible to lock down. Someone could just as easily make a locked down desktop Linux, which maybe ChromeOS is already.
