Not all planes have wifi. Either this flight didn’t have it or they have quieted all passengers’ relatives with something that would keep them quiet. I don’t know who is ultimately in charge of this investigation but maybe even just telling the relatives that their silence could save other lives. During this short time of silence they may be able to do some kind of traces and shut down anything if this was not a lone wolf.
We don’t even know if this was perhaps a many member ATTACK including this pilot. That maybe he stacked the passengers with fellows to keep the innocent passengers from doing any kind of Let’s Roll.

That's true.
Not following you.
Was reported that on the in bound the pilot did NOT leave the cockpit once.
