Sorry 147 but often the Rema isn’t the final pesak, the achronim weigh in the shitos and are machriya. In this case, the Gra’s opinion is held to be of great weight, & usually is held to the esteem of a rishon. Thusly, those who wear tefilin don’t make a brocha, & many follow the Gra and don’t wear them at all.
