This was actually mentioned when relic weapons first came out back during 1.0.
"There is a custom still observed in Ishgard today which ordains that the Holy See bestow a polearm dubbed Gae Bolg upon any lancer who ascends to the station of dragoon. Exactly how his weapon is forged remains a mystery, as the very few highland smiths who create them are sworn to keep their methods secret. All that is known is that the bones of dragons slain in the name of Halone are worked into both haft and head, achieving an unmatched balance between lightness and strength. "
There has always been multiple Gae Bolg in recent history. It's just a specific type of spear now, and not an original.
As far as Dragoons go, as mentioned a post or two up, you can become a Dragoon. You just can't became the Azure Dragoon (Seeing as there is only one, and despite your character being it in the game, we all know how that goes elsewhere.)
