Mobile OS have much better isolation between apps than Debian has. In default Debian configuration any app can access all of your data, microphone, webcam, Internet, GPS sensors etc. While the maintainers do a good job reviewing all of the software, having isolation on OS level provides better security.
For example, Chrome has process sandboxing. It might seem unnecessary because the code is written by highly professional developers, but it helps Chrome to be the most difficult to exploit browser. I am sure that if Debian could adopt something similar to Android permission system, it would make it even more secure.
