Tell us...why is it not historically significant?

It's not historically significant because the feat has been accomplished
before. That it was previously done by the government is irrelevant.

Spoken like one who has given no thought to the difference between currently
inflated millions and 35 year old billions.

You'll notice some historical significance, I think, if a "private" group should
set off a nuclear device -- even though government entities have already done so.
