Why does blockwide signature aggregation prevent adaptor signatures?

The adaptor signature s' is the real signature s, minus a secret tweak t: s'=s-t

The adaptor signature is published together with the elliptic curve points R for the nonce and T for the tweak, which belong to their corresponding secrets r and t.

The Verifier can now do the verification and check that everything is valid. After this the Verifier has to wait for the real signature s to appear on-chain to calculate t: t=s-s'.

But in the case of block-wide signature aggregation, the real signature s never appears on-chain because it gets "lost" inside the aggregate signature. The aggregate signature s_agg is a sum of all the other signatures; in the case of Signature Half Aggregation it's a sum of all signatures, each multiplied by an unpredictable value z_i:

Signature Half Aggregation

s_agg is the only value to appear on-chain and it's useless for calculating t.
