I assume that means the others are open in the portions of the park that is open. They may not have opened hiker/biker camping though. They specifically did mention that backcountry camping is not open at this time.
Have you seen anything that specifically indicates that bikes are or will be allowed in? able to camp?
The Tetons detour wouldn't be the end of the world, but would be a big disappointment for some who would be looking forward to Yellowstone as a highlight of their trip.
The license plate thing is most likely related to managing crowds. Glacier has been limiting visitors along the Going to the Sun Corridor and possibly other area of the park. If you are in a car you need to have a reservation between something like 6 am and some time in the evening. If you have something like lodging reservations that counts as a reservation to enter the park. The l restrictions do not apply to people on bikes. This is the second year in a row.
I am pretty sure Yellowstone had restrictions last year, but I don’t know the details.
