How is it so, in a way that complying with other warrants isn't? (I'm very much not sympathetic to the government's assertion of its rights here, but I'm not yet convinced by this argument against it.)

Fair question.

Warrants are mostly pertaining to searches as I understand it.

I don’t think there is instances of warrants in the US that has resulted in compelled speech?

To be clear gag orders and injunctions don’t count as compelled speech. That’s an order of absence of speech.
