Yeah. I believe it has a different name on iOS, but they both have the feature.

A really nice feature would be a hardware button triggering this mode!

And I think iOS literally lets you configure the button on the side of the phone to enable this mode by quickly pressing it three times or something like that.

"Guided access" on iOS, triple click the power button to activate. You can even draw on the screen to select different screen areas where you want to restrict access. It's also possible choose if you want to restrict the volume buttons, keyboard and so on.
