But it depends on the details: being free or not, all the three desktop

I think most phones don't allow you to install programs freely for
them (Android may be the exception), at the very least, they require
you to go through an app store.
You seem badly affected by Job's Distortion-of-Reality Field! :-) I've
always installed whatever I wanted on my handheld devices (and later
smartphones) since 1998, of course including my own stuff. There might
be an app store by other vendors, but you can install everything by
directly connecting to an URL - heck, also eventually sending it by
means of bluetooth.
It's Apple that is making people going backward (pretending that they're
going forward). Just in case somebody else has doubt, I'd like to recall
that multitasking (in various forms) for smartphones has been already
invented and made available.
