I don’t wanna ruin your day but the “usable” protein count is actually the %daily value divided by 2. I looked at those protein pancakes and they only have 28% DV so it’s actually 14g of protein that’ll actually be used to build muscle. Still decent. Do some research if you’re confused

The pancakes still have 22g of protein because that’s how much protein is actually in them. The 28% daily value is just a reference for how much protein you should get in a day, not a percentage of protein your body can use. Protein quality does matter, but that doesn’t mean you automatically cut the protein in half. There’s no scientific rule that says you divide the grams of protein by 2 to find how much builds muscle.
