This is misunderstanding the problem, I think. This is not a weakness in GrapheneOS due to being an AOSP derivative, it's a weakness imposed by Google on all alternative OSes whether they are AOSP derived or not. They present a scannable code that will only be cleared if you scan it with Google's Android.

Unless there's something else going on here. Either way, anger should be directed at Google, not GOS or its users. (annoying though they might sometimes be ;)
