This code gives warning:

    private readonly struct OptionalValue<T> where T : struct
    {
        public readonly T _value;

        public readonly bool _isSpecified;

        public OptionalValue(T value)
        {
            _value = value;
            _isSpecified = true;
        }

        public static implicit operator OptionalValue<T>(T? value) => value.HasValue ? new(value.Value) : default;
    }

    public struct MyStruct
    {
        public int Value { get; set; }
    };

    public struct MyOtherStruct
    {
        public MyStruct? Inner { get; set; }
    };

MyOtherStruct t = new MyOtherStruct();

OptionalValue<int> myObject  = t.Inner?.Value ?? null;

This results in the following message on t.Inner?.Value ?? null; (last line):

S3655: ‘ t.Inner?.Value ?? null’ is null on at least one execution path.

I assume that Sonar is missing to look at the implicit operator in OptionalValue which makes the null irrelevant.
