This should have been the lede:

Biden administration officials sometimes used Signal, too, though more for directing colleagues to SCIFs for updates than for sharing the government secrets that could be found there.

Seems to me that is the critical distinction: using Signal to say - "hey, get your butts to someplace secure so you can get critical information" versus "let me just send you that secure information via an app we actually warned you recently was insecure."
