Gmail does put messages with disposition quarantine into the spam label,
but we don't rely on the A-R header to pass that information from the smtp
transaction to the mailbox.

At least the Mac Apple Mail client did have a client-side spam filter,
looks like it probably still does:
https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/reduce-junk-mail-mlhlp1065/mac

Does it handle spf/dkim/dmarc in any way?  I don't know.
