Models signature inaccessible in Unity Catalog

I am using Unity Catalog to store my models. My Unity Catalog meta-store is hosted in an Azure Storage Account, which has public network access disabled. Access is restricted to certain IP ranges and private endpoint connections only.

Recently, my development team has noticed that the signatures of the models are inaccessible, although we can access every table, volume, etc., using the Private Endpoint connected to the Storage Account. Interestingly, if I open the Storage Account to the public network, the model signatures become accessible. Could you please explain why all folders within the Unity Catalog meta-store are accessible except for the 'models' folder?
