They are compatible, if you go from NEXUS to GE. The reason you can't go the other way is that the Government of Canada has nothing to do with GE. The only way it could work that way is if both the US and Canadian governments administered the GE program and all GE participants had to be vetted, by both background check and interview, by both.

The reason it works in reverse is that the US government does the same checks for each program, and the same interview.
