It's not tech policy, it's the national security council. If you read one of the linked articles (pre-veto threat), it's made clear that the executive agrees with the bill but wants a few more changes made.
"We continue to believe that information sharing improvements are essential to effective legislation, but they must include privacy and civil liberties protections, reinforce the roles of civilian and intelligence agencies, and include targeted liability protections. The Administration seeks to build upon the productive dialogue with Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Ruppersberger over the last several months, and the Administration looks forward to continuing to work with them to ensure that any cybersecurity legislation reflects these principles. Further, we believe the adopted committee amendments reflect a good faith-effort to incorporate some of the Administration's important substantive concerns, but we do not believe these changes have addressed some outstanding fundamental priorities."
You have no friends in the executive branch. It is in their best interests to permit the most invasive and sweeping information gathering methods possible in the pursuit of their investigations. Keep in mind that the FBI and DHS, among others, ultimately report to the president.
