The system only went live in 2016. It's only been supported by Apple since the iPhone 6s, and Samsung has supported since the S8.
I would be hesitant to say that most phones are compatible. In 2016 most of the flagship phones had support but even having a compatible SoC doesn't mean it was implemented. The Google Pixel was released in 2016 with a Snapdragon 821 that is compatible yet the Pixel does not support Galileo.
