I don't recall any discussion of the other recent (about 2 years ago?) "secret" consecrations by Bishop Williamson until he made a public announcement.
These were different, because
1) it was during covid, when travel was restricted and no one knew when these restrictions would stop. It is understandable, under heavy govt scrutiny, to keep things quiet. Nobody knew if persecutions would start happening for those who continued with church activities.
2) These were Trad priests, and the new rites were not involved. The new-rites complicate things because of the doubt involved. +W is wishy-washy on the new rites, so i'm not even sure why a conditional consecration was even needed (in his eyes). But a novus ordo "bishop" who converts puts the controversy of the new rites into the public sphere (once again) and it needs to be addressed (just like Vigano addressed the heretic Francis papal question).
You can't have it both ways. You can't say that Francis is a heretic, anti-pope and all the V2 popes from Paul6 were heretics too. But then say that the new rites are "probably valid" (or should be treated as valid). In the former case, you use canon law to deem the pope is a heretic and also a reason for Tradition to exist, and the permission to ordain/consecrate without papal approval, etc. In the later case, you ignore canon law's prohibition on attending, condoning, and using doubtful sacraments and just make up your own mind on if they are doubtful "enough". Either follow canon law every time or not at all.
Also, let's not forget canon law ALSO prohibits use of, condoning of, and attending at ILLICIT sacraments (which all the new rites are, per canon law and also per Quo Primum), even if you make the argument that they are "probably valid". Thus, the new rites have 2 major strikes against them. And these strikes involve mortal sin, per the law.
And the failure of +W or +Vigano (or any other Trad org...i.e. +Fellay) to tell people in the indult that attending, using or promoting either doubtful or illicit sacraments is a grave and damnable offense, then these clerics are liable for their sins of omission and negligence in instructing the faithful.
And +Vigano's conversion and conditional consecration is another opportunity for both +W and +Fellay (and now +Vigano) to speak the truth on these matters. The clock is ticking...I hope they eventually do it.
