Profiles were introduced in 4.2 on Android, if I recall, almost 4 years ago. Most Android devices in developed countries are above this version. My original Nexus 5 had them, and that's some 4 phones ago.

I'm sure you could find a shipping device that lacks them, but not from a major carrier in most of the world. Of Play-enabled devices, Google puts this at less than 5% worldwide

That's fair, also I haven't tried using one outside of the google ecosystem. My personal accounts are tied up inside google and most of my employers have used the gsuite as well.

Maybe someone else can comment if it works the same with office365 or similar?
