I am right now in Sri Lanka and couldn't connect to a WiFi that I connected to after I still was on airplane mode. After reading that support thread I could reproduce this issue. It really seems that WiFi networks are not discoverable in Sri Lanka when your device 'recognises' via connecting to the carrier that it is in Sri Lanka

GrapheneOS would solve this issue permanently.
Or lineageos if you want something usable and not developed by a lunatic https://youtu.be/4To-F6W1NT0
GrapheneOS is very usable, I've been using it for the past three years or so. Regarding the lunatic part, I thought he resigned as lead dev.
Lineageos is also less stable than GrapheneOS and of course far less secure than GOS. It’s also less secure than stock Pixel OS or any other Android OS that supports verified boot.
Sorry for your downvotes. Your comment is constructive on both points.
Unless you know what the rootcause is, no it won't. If it's a bug or some regulatory issue, that will likely carry over from AOSP to any derivatives unless they explicitly work around it.
