No "common platforms" but M$ Windows. Jabłoko MacOS and Linux are Unix
like systems and have such separation. Sony PlayStation consoles are
based on FreeBSD so they are also Unix like. The same is true for
Android.
Android is based on a Linux kernel and is sufficiently modular that you
can run a regular-style Linux distro on it.
MacOS does not have the GUI separation any more. It is “Unix” in trademark
only, not in the way you expect a “Unix” system to work.
I doubt the PlayStation can even be classed as “Unix”.
