I cannot see anything confusing here. Your WD updates are like for most people. You have got the last stable platform update.
We are trying to understand why some people can get the beta platform updates without asking for them.
Windows Defender network inspection service fails to start
- Thread starter oldschool
- Start date

Me too but i allow (re-)starting programs on Windows restart.
On which level is your diagnostic level? Mine is on "required"

I use the Optional (full level) diagnostic data setting, so the telemetry is bigger.
I guess this solve the problem here as i and i'm sure all other user's here, use "required".
I'm also on 2004 / 20H1 build too.
Oddly, we have gotten yet another update to the Platform. My version on here is now 4.18.2008.9. At times, I force definition updates and did so just now and look what turned up. Thing is, what does this do?
Clicking on the link for the changelog brought me to this page that contained an older client version. Not much info there, I'm afraid.
A snip of my registry vis a vis the keys for MpEngine.

After I used the command line reg fix and the platform updated, the "MpCampRing" and other entries under MpEngine disappeared. I use only Basic telemetry, which would explain why I had to seek the platform update. I'm still on 4.18.2008.4, which is the first version that fixes the NIS problem, so content not to "seek" anymore.

Well even with full telemetry 4.18.2008.9 doesn't come up.
Did the command line thing again and got this update.
Microsoft works in mysterious ways...

After changing telemetry to optional and run the fix again i get latest version:
But as Andy share the Defender signatures link, this isn't stable version yet so we're living in the future

Does the Windows Defender network inspection service run when Windows Defender is only your secondary antivirus?
- Aug 17, 2014

You meant as secondary AV "Microsoft/Windows Defender Offline Scan" and using instead 3rd-party AV ?
In this case above, Network Inspection Service isn't running by default!

I guess it does nothing then if we set it to run automatically when Windows Defender's real-time protection is turned off, right? Shame.
Anyway, I suggested something else in the feedback hub: Windows Insider Program
No idea whether it is technically doable, though.

It's part of Windows Defender so it makes sense that it doesn't work without Windows Defender. I'm sure reporting it to Microsoft won't do any help regarding this. There could have been compatibility issue with other products if it would work with WD turned off so that's how it is.

Microsoft has a strange way to figure out what belongs to what. Windows firewall is called Windows Defender Firewall for some reason, which made me wonder how much this feature relies on the real-time antivirus being on. That’s something I believe they could check it out. I’ve done just an insider's feedback, which doesn’t mean much, less than two cents.
However, if they could safely make it work as an independent module altogether like the firewall already is, that would mean a welcome feature.
How are your Defender version's ?

I force definition updates before shutting the machine down. Got yet another platform update so the version is changed. New:
No meaningful changelog when clicking the link in Definition Updates section of Settings/Windows Updates History.
Since the Network Inspection Service issue is resolved, I didn't know where else to put this information.
