It's the Google Home app. Hopefully they'll invest in the interface quite a bit over the coming year but it does a good job of managing all of the devices in my home right now. So this isn't a huge issue. The weird problem of having both the Nest app and Google Home has always been really weird.

It looks like you have to migrate your Nest to the Google Home app in order to control schedules in Google Home. (As it is now, I can change the current temp as a one-off, or do voice control, but I can't change schedules).

Unfortunately, it sounds like the scheduling is just as simplistic and featureless as the scheduling in the native Nest app. (Eg, manually set up each day, with basic copy+paste functionality (probably), no overrides, no ability to do anything different from week to week). So, I probably won't risk the migration.
