Do we have proof the G30 iDrive 7 lacks remote software upgrades?

BMW Update site says my MY2020 G30 iDrive 7 has remote software upgrades.
Owners of MY20 G30s have discussed this issue in the forums on this site. IDrive7 in the G30 lacks some features, including remote software update.

Cars with remote software update have some different modules. And from reading BMW tech bulletins, it appears remote software upgrade communicates with modules that have TLS certificates installed to help protect from "evilware" being pushed. Seems the G30 does not have all the modules in the certificate chain.

That should change with LCI.
