Android and iOS increased security, but at the cost of much flexibility and user agency. It's some kind of progress, but I certainly wouldn't want them for Real Computers.

Android is just Linux running a Java VM and a funky userland. iOS is just MacOS apple decided you can't do real work on. Both are still unix clones (as contrast to a unix-like like plan9 or haiku)
