You already have the answer, apps will never see microG without signature spoofing.

Then how do I enable signature spoofing on GrapheneOS? Been searching for hours yet have found nothing on it

I will say it in short, it is just based on discussion found over the internet so don't take it for granted. GrapheneOS developers doesn't particularly like microG and they wouldn't do anything to simplify its installation, you can patch the ROM for signature spoofing but the patches that are simple to apply are less secure.

The simpler way is to choose a ROM that ship with a safe signature spoofing built-in.
