GrapheneOS patches this behavior if apps match their Google play signature IIRC. This is a behavior that apps on the play store can opt into (basically they block operation if they aren’t installed via Play).
It was rather annoying until recently, since some apps require you to be on a certified Android install to find them in the Play store, but don’t actually check play integrity in the app. These apps when installed via Aurora wouldn’t work for me until Graphene patched this.

Pixel 8a on stock here. I have no idea what @hawk is talking about. I just install any app, that I want. I might had to alter some settings, to do it, but I don’t remember doing that.
