Does the same apply to a laptop or desktop PC? If not, why not?

  Of course it does, but PC operating systems were not initially created on that assumption, making an abrupt conversion to such a system impractical. Smartphones don't have decades of legacy software and workflows to deal with.

  Running full root privileges is bad. The most trivial example is "rm -rf /" or "chown user:user -R /". Everyone who has done this at least once has been enlightened.
