Here are a couple of phones that don't have dual frequency: - Samsung Galaxy A53 5G (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a53_5g-11268.php https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a53_5g-11268.php) - Samsung Galaxy S10 (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s10_5g-9588.php https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s10_5g-9588.php) - Samsung Galaxy S20 (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s20-10081.php https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s20-10081.php) - Nokia G60 (https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_g60-11826.php https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_g60-11826.php) - Google Pixel 5 (https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_5-10386.php https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_5-10386.php) - Sony Xperia 10 IV (https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_10_iv-11522.php https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_10_iv-11522.php) - Apple iPhone 13 Pro (https://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_13_pro-11102.php https://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_13_pro-11102.php) If you want to have this feature you have to start looking at the high end models which are of course expensive. Last time I've checked only Chinese brands like Huawei, Xiaomi or Realme seem to offer it at a more affordable price range.

According to this list[0] some Samsung Galaxy S20 does support it, as does the Pixel 5 (and 4 and 6). Google also lists both models as having L5 support[1]. Of course the best way of knowing if your phone supports it is to test it yourself.

I suspect the main barrier is patents/licensing/product differentiation rather than the actual difficulty of adding one more PLL, mixer and ADC. Besides, nearly every phone could receive GPS L5 with the radios in the cell modem if they had a suitable firmware update.
