Google Assistant can't remotely unlock Nest x Yale lock ?

I just installed the Nest x Yale lock on our front door and configured it so it shows up on the Nest app as well as the Google Home app,  We have a Google Home/Nest smart speaker that we interact with voice commands, etc, but there's a glitch when it comes to unlocking the Next x Yale lock.  When I say "Okay Google, unlock the front door", the answer I get is "Sorry, I can't unlock the front door remotely".  It has no problem locking the front door when I ask and also is able to tell me the status of the lock.  Any idea why it won't unlock?   TIA!

Update: I found this disappointing news after searching "Can Google Assistant unlock my Yale lock?":

"The thing about Google Home is while you can lock doors to your heart's content, you can't use Google Home to unlock your Nest x Yale Lock. It can seem annoying you have to manually unlock the door, but this is for security reasons- a burglar won't be able to yell at Google through the window to get the door unlocked."
