no, it's not, termux requires low level access to the OS that iOS protects against.

No, it does not have any more access than any other app, as it work on unrooted devices too.

That said, it has to be compiled for older Android SDK level because newer levels prevent apps to run executables they downloaded on their own and not bundle with the APK, even isolated. Android may disable compatibility with the older SDK some day but for now it works.
