What is SpaceX hiding at Vandenberg? (sh.itjust.works)

The webcasts for the past three launches out of Vandenberg California haven't gone live until Falcon 9 is well away from the pad. Any guesses as to why SpaceX is suddenly reluctant to show us the pad and surrounding area?

Weird. I wonder if the possible CCP spying incident of 2024-11-30 is related.

If any of the late-starting webcasts happened prior to that date, perhaps Yinpiao Zhou noticed it and was innocently curious. Or perhaps he actually is a spy and his handlers noticed and ordered him to investigate. If not, perhaps some/all of the late-starting webcasts happened because of Zhou's drone flight.

The first one was Starlink 9-13 on 2024-11-24 (PST).
