Desktop Linux has nearly no app security. So the VM approach is a malware prevention. Android is the most used OS in the world.

Mainly for server applications, not for protecing like your .bashrc, your .ssh or .gnupg folder etc.

You cam teach it expected behaviour of apps...but for .folders I would say that falls under SELinux, which seems to have a learning curve to it
