> newer phones like the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016)
I know we are a more tech savvy crowd but is using a 7 year old feature phone really the best example to make this argument? I imagine that most people keep their phones closer to four years.

In order to make a VoLTE phone call, your phone, your provider, the receiving phone and the intermediate network providers must all support the protocol.
So I can't use my VoLTE phone to call a land-line in another country? That would be stupid if true.
Meaning that really can't be true.
I have various old phones at family members' homes that still speak ISDN or "regular landline" to the respective router. The router used to also connect via ISDN and/or regular POTS to the phone company at various points in time. Nowadays it's actually some sort of VOIP protocol as well and those old phones don't care. Nor should they need to care.
Nor should a caller somewhere on the other end of the world care about that and vice versa what that caller uses to connect to their provider.
If VoLTE doesn't support that, then color me unimpressed and fully against it. Not that I can stop it, but it would be completely utterly stupid ;)
The J3 isn't a feature phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_J3
