Well, I wouldn't say that your statement is 100% true. Desktop versions of wallets can also be vulnerable to malware. Of course, this is better than mobile wallets, but it also has some drawbacks. Here the owner of the wallet will play a big role. To what extent he is technically prepared and ready to take actions to ensure the safety of his wallet. The easiest way to achieve this is to use hatdware wallets, some models of which also work with mobile versions of wallets. By purchasing such a device, you can increase the security of your wallet almost to the limit, since not a single transaction will be confirmed without your physical action. Viruses will be powerless here.

All are wallets that are regularly connected to the internet, so it can be said that the risk is the same, if you want to be more secure, use a hardware wallet. Also, how secure your assets are will largely depend on how you use them, not that desktop wallets will be more secure than mobile wallets. I have also used the mobile version of trust wallet to store shitcoins over the years, I've never had any problems, so we can't say they are less secure than desktop wallets.

If you are looking for the best security measures in safe keeping your wallets, hardware wallets is the best bet. You need to shell out a few dollars for the hardware wallet but it is the safest bet rather than storing anything sensitive in a mobile which is always prone to security breaches and desktop wallet is not bad but the safest is always a cold wallet which is not connected online.
