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?

Vandenberg is a Space Force Base, there's going to be times that the military has something on site they absolutely do not want filmed, and SpaceX has no choice but to comply.
It's not like Boca Chica, they don't own the Vandenberg launch site, they lease it from the government.
