It's built into the OS since apple and google agreed common standards for tag detection.

The google compatible tags (which aren't launched yet, possibly because of stuff like this) will be detected by apple devices too.

If it’s now built into the OS that is great going forward, but how many phones have the latest OS? Like 10%?

It's part of Play services, so most phones will get it.
