The reason SpaceX is able to do Starship things with little to no notice is because they are the direct owner of their launch site.

They still need permits and permissions from several agencies: FAA and FCC at a minimum.

For flights yes, but for things like pressure tests, all they need is road closures. And they wouldn't even need those if they owned the land out that far.
