Korean banking apps usually are disabled in rooted Android, probably because in rooted Android the integrity of the binary cannot be verified.

See, usually when I run into claims about rooted Android being less secure, I point out that they have no problem with regular laptops that the user has root/admin on, but in this case I suspect they try to DRM control of that, too...
It's definitely about full device control. How else would the mandatory "anti-keylogger" software work?
GrapheneOS is not rooted though. Are all of them doing SafetyNet checks too, not just root checks?
I don't think korean banks run safetynet. They roll their own checks with varying levels of strictness. Most of them were fooled by Magisk Hide, but not all.
Which is funny because rooted android users can easily make any app believe it isn't rooted. Had to do that recently with the French identity app.
