I may be mistaken, but wasn’t one of the reasons that Manning was able to get so much data (and that was a low-level individual) is that due to operational requirements / contingencies (IE. I’m too lazy) the systems do get interlocked, despite not ever supposed to be touching in design?

I think you are mistaken. Manning had at least Secret clearance, and so access to SIPRNET (in general) would have been wholly within usage guidelines.
