Why is glycolysis inherent in all prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Glycolysis is the process of glucose catabolism without the participation of oxygen to pyruvic acid, in which energy is released and stored in ATP bonds. This is a process that supports the life of pro- and eukaryote organisms, since it evolved even before the appearance of oxygen on earth and provided energy to the cells of its first inhabitants. Thanks to glycolysis, eukaryotes remain viable, which enter the conditions of anaerobiosis. In multicellular organisms, glycolysis takes place in all living cells, its consequence is the formation of intermediate compounds (pyruvic, lactic acids), which are then oxidized in mitochondria.
