Linux on servers is not in embedded form, but fully functional, with every feature that regular desktop PC can have, if not more :)

It is the other way if anything - linux on android phones have reduced features available to user, because of permissions et cetera. That's why it's harder to hack android phone, because people there are not installing packages, but using Google play, people there have no root access et cetera.

Not true. Linux was very populary for a loooong long time. But not on a customer devices but on routers, servers et cetera where often it is much more popular than Windows. So there was an incentive to find bugs and exploits in linux/unix operating systems for a long time. And I would argue that it's easier to find them in linux because it is open source.
