Where it was mostly in embeded forms, with greatly reduced features, which hackers could exploit.

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.
