I was ready to be super upset when I started reading, especially about indicting someone on an unrelated case from the data - but then I read that they got a warrant and did everything the right way and I was completely surprised that we have competent law enforcement that does things the right way.

That shouldn't have been a surprise, that should have been expected.

How is getting a warrant which includes all users of an email service, AND those who corresponded with them "limited"?

They didn't get a warrant for all the users whose data they seized.

Probably because the stories that make sites like HN are all the 'outrage stories' where things have gone off the rails.
