Some of my notes are not able to be locked (the lock button is grayed out)

Hi, I have enabled the ability to lock notes on my iPhone 13 mini, iPad Air and MacBook Pro and I am able to do this and unlock them via a password or Touch ID. The weird thing is there are a large amount of my notes that have the lock button grayed out and I cannot lock them. It seems to be random which notes I can lock and which ones I can't. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

You can only lock notes on your device and notes in iCloud. You can't lock notes that have tags, PDFs, audio, video, Keynote, Pages, Numbers documents, or notes that use IMAP to sync with accounts, like Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail. You also can't password protect notes that you share with someone else. If you want to stop sharing a note, open the note, tap the Add People button , then tap Manage Shared Note > Stop Sharing.
