That's not what extquote does. If you read the man page, it says:
If set, $'string' and $"string" quoting is performed
within ${parameter} expansions enclosed in double
quotes. This option is enabled by default.
It doesn't affect double-quoted strings that don't contain
parameter expansion or $'...' expansions that occur outside
parameter expansions.
