Android has ROMs that have stronger features, but basic Android is lacking in this area.
E.g. CalyxOS allows you to put the phone in “Before First Unlock” mode. In which even if extracted only has system data, not user data. GrapheneOS uses even stronger protections, it lock downs the whole kernel.
