This is a question for my curiosity the 2021 Santa Fe with 2.5 turbo are built in Alabama. The manual that came with the car recommends Quaker State but to my knowledge QS doesn't make a 0w30 in the U S. So what kind of oil did this car leave the Alabama plant with?

This oil is ACEA C3 and not recommended. Any ACEA A5/B5 will do.
you want 0w20, which they definitely do make...
On the oil cap and on the next page in the owners manual
Strange that it does not matches online manual.
If you want to go with 0w30 then choose Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30 which is API SP, ILSAC GF-6A
I don't care for Amsoil, but it's worth looking into the 0W30 for the 2.5T-GDI.
As @slacktide_bitog said, QS does technically sell a 0w30 which is relabeled Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX. That oil can be found at Advance Auto.
However, based on the specs required in @mrlawnguy ’s post, that oil is overkill. I’d stick to Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30 and call it a day.

The proper way to look at it is that they recommend a 30-grade oil. The chosen winter rating will be dependent on your expected starting conditions, if it is below -35F or so then an oil with a 0W winter rating will be beneficial. If it is above 0F then any winter rating is acceptable.

Yes that would be a good choice, especially if you want to go with the manual.
I agree with @kschachn 's thinking. A 5w30 or 10w30 would also work well depending on the climate the car is used in.
That chart seems to tell me that the 0w-20 is okay for the NA engine, but add a turbo, and its not enough to get through warranty, or they would specify it.
Who thinks the bottom end blocks are different?
I don't. Difference would be the intake, exhaust, and lower compression pistons.
That confirms why i will not run anything less than a 30 in my engines.
I wouldn’t get too wound up over brands. Any 0w30 from a major brand will run fine. 5w30 will be easier to find though. If you are going to change your own oil then a two minute talk at the dealer just to verify that 5w30 is okay will make it clear.
That's what I'd use, it's D1G2 so you know it's good for mitigating LSPI.
