Perhaps because of the primary purpose of SPV wallets that you cannot your full node wallet, so you need to trust them...

This somehow makes sense, to the point where people who use SPV wallets usually don't run their own full node.
But that doesn't mean we have to trust them. We should be able to trust someone else if we wish (i.e., connect to another SPV server).

Not that it would make much difference in terms of security, as we can check balances in blockexplorers as well... But certainly in terms of privacy.

And I could not find it at all on the desktop version.

I never used their mobile version, but the mobile is much older and it looks safer. There were some problems with coinomi desktop security (about spell check in google), but not with the mobile version (which is pretty old and I like it, I use it for years)
