This is just obfuscation, isn't it?

"Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack on 14 July.

But while the French authorities said Bouhlel had been inspired by IS's propaganda, they said they had not found anything to show that the group actually orchestrated the assault."

Yup. And it's entirely deliberate obfuscation at that. They are predicating their reports on an outdated model of terrorism in which any terrorist act must be co-ordinated and approved by a centralised command structure à la the IRA. This despite the fact that ISIS have made it clear that this isn't how they work. It's just plain dishonest reporting.
