Why RequiredScope attribute doesn't have any effect?

According to this Microsoft document you should be able to apply attribute like [RequiredScope("SomeScopeName")] to either controller level or action level to protect the API. But when I try it in my API, it doesn't seem to have any effect at all - regardless what scope name I use (I made sure I don't have the scope by that name in the token), I always get right in to the API actions that I supposed to fail. But at the same time, my policy attributes, such as [Authorize(Policy = "PolicyName")], works just fine. What am I missing?

[ApiController]
[RequiredScope("AnyRandomName")]
public class MyApiController : ControllerBase
{

UPDATE

Here is my Startup.cs

public class Startup
{
    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        Configuration = configuration;
    }
    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        IdentityModelEventSource.ShowPII = true; 
        services.AddControllers();

        services.AddSwaggerGen(opt =>
        {
            opt.CustomSchemaIds(type => type.ToString() + type.GetHashCode()); 
        });

        services.Configure<HostOptions>(Configuration.GetSection(HostOptions.HOST));

        JwtSecurityTokenHandler.DefaultInboundClaimTypeMap.Clear(); 
        JwtSecurityTokenHandler.DefaultOutboundClaimTypeMap.Clear();
        services.AddAuthentication("Bearer").AddJwtBearer(options =>
        {
            options.Authority = Configuration[HostOptions.IDENTITYGATEWAY];
            options.SaveToken = true;
            options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
            {
                ValidateAudience = false
            };
        });

        services.AddTransient<gRPCServiceHelper>();
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
    {
        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            app.UseExceptionHandler("/error-local-development");
            app.UseSwagger();
            app.UseSwaggerUI(c => c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "GroupDemographicEFCore v1"));
        }
        else
        {
            app.UseExceptionHandler("/error");
        }

        app.UseHttpsRedirection();
        app.UseRouting();
        app.UseAuthentication();
        app.UseAuthorization();

        app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
        {
            endpoints.MapControllers();
        });
    }
}

and here is my API controller

[ApiController]
[Authorize]
[RequiredScope("NoSuchScope")]
public class MyApiController : ControllerBase
{
    public MyApiController([NotNull] IConfiguration configuration, [NotNull] ILogger<MyApiController> logger,
        [NotNull] gRPCServiceHelper helper) : base(configuration, logger, helper)
    {
    }

    [HttpGet]
    [Route("/clients/summary")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> ClientsSummaryGet()
    {
        ...

Note that I applied the attributes here on the controller level. But it makes no difference if I move them down to action level - the RequiredScope attributes always gets ignored.

UPDATE-1

I left out the AddAuthorization from my last post update, as I believe it is irrelevant to my issue here. I added it back now, with a few of the policies that I use. Once again, these policies are all working fine, and I don't see how this is relevant to the issue I have.

services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
    options.AddPolicy("OperatorCode", policy =>
    {
        policy.RequireAuthenticatedUser();
        policy.RequireClaim("OperatorCode");
    });
    options.AddPolicy("OperatorCode:oprtr0", policy =>
    {
        policy.RequireAuthenticatedUser();
        policy.RequireClaim("OperatorCode", "oprtr0");
    });
    options.AddPolicy("Role:User+OperatorCode:oprtr0", policy =>
    {
        policy.RequireAuthenticatedUser();
        policy.RequireRole("User");
        policy.RequireClaim("OperatorCode", "oprtr0");
    });
    options.AddPolicy("Role:Admin||Role:User", policy =>
    {
        policy.RequireAuthenticatedUser();
        policy.RequireRole("Admin", "User");
    });
});

All we need to do is add

services.AddRequiredScopeAuthorization();

For the RequireScopeAttrubute to work, which is what AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApiAuthentication does under the hood to get it to work anyway.
