There was a recent study [1] looking into the economic impact of GPS in the US which "estimate that the loss of GPS service would have a $1 billion per-day impact". Not sure how that translates to Galileo GNSS.

IIUC, the analysis assumes other systems would also be disrupted, as modern devices support multiple location services (gps, galileo, glonass).

So there isn't really a case of GPS failing while Galileo works and viceversa, it's just "everything fails" vs "something works".
