Same model on Android. And yes, while the Linux kernel has a bunch of issues, glibc has a bunch of issues, etc. the app model as you pointed out is the major problem. Even if you use snapd and others, the apps aren't made to be able to ask the user for things like storage access and what not, making things difficult. Ex: "Darktable, an image editor, needs to import pictures from you /home/blah/Pictures directory". Well then it needs full read access to /home/blah really, for things to work. On Android and other similar OSes at the minimum it has it's own storage space, and asks for additional access - or goes through the specific call to get pictures from the pictures app.
