While I agree signing should have been there, as others have already commented there was always some form of alternative (subtitles) and it didn't happen every time. Further a better broadcasters could add signing to their non-live broadcasts so it would only be the live situation where it would have been missed.
Given a "must do better" certainly but compensation for something hard to quantify like "stress" is something else altogether.

How many of the 148 other briefings did she even try to watch?
Briefings were live, sometimes with more than one person talking which makes live signing a lot more difficult, if not impossible, because of the need to correctly attribute who said what. Live signing has errors, and the briefings had to be accurate.
Big announcements such as lockdowns and rule changes are not briefings and would've been signed. The content of the announcements were on the government website and widely reported by the media.Do Parliamentary debates and Select Committees have signing?
Any important information that was in the briefings would've been available elsewhere.
