Not that I expect that this will be answered in the forums, perhaps OnStar does mine the forums for feedback. Basically, I am going to be sad in the winter when I am getting ready to go out for the day not being able to say "OK Google, Tell Chevrolet to start my car" and have a warm car.
Of course there is the app; but I am getting ready, not fiddling on my phone. I know Google is a company finding its way down the toilet as rapidly as possible and I wouldn't be surprised their Voice Assistant is just part of that disintegration of the company, but I am heavily invested in their voice assistant ecosystem and not willing to change to Amazon. Also, if I have my phone, I probably have my keys.
This feature is legit the only reason I subscribe to OnStar - voice activated car starts. (Unless OnStar will be super cool and just give me an API instead! Be super cool OnStar, give me an API to do my OnStar things).

@wallaceburg_on - well winter's here and I'm guessing you're sad like you predicted you would be with no Google Assistant to Chevy integration, as am I.
I know technology keeps changing, and I shouldn't expect devices to be supported forever, but Google dropping conversational actions and GM failing to implement application actions (a poor substitute to be fair) feels like I've been given a big middle finger by both of them.
