Google Flights and some other aggregators have NDC capabilities, but Matrix does not, and knowing Google, it never will.

The same problem exists for UA, but for much smaller dollar amounts.
I can confirm that, UA+AA is pushing the lower fares to NDC only same with the upsells. I saw many U.S. domestic trips where a fully refundable ticket upsell is only 50$ for AA and UA NDC, but not available on GDS.
Luckily expedia group has already NDC content, so you're able to book it there.
