This is untrue, Taylor was listed on the warrant no different than the other two persons. [0][1]

She's listed because it's her residence. Read the warrant, and compare the language in it about her to the language of the other people suspected of using the building.
She is listed as part of the "and/or on the person or persons of", I did.
Note how there's no criminal history associated with her, and none of her behavior is a predicate to the warrant. Compare to what the warrant says about the other occupants of the building.
I'm not sure you read the warrant correctly. They clearly state they've seen Taylor's car in front of the 2424 Elliott address. That wasn't the address issued for the warrant. This is an implication being made. The warrant is issued for 3003 Springfield.

Maybe go reread it.

You helpfully linked to it upthread. I'm comfortable that I've summarized it accurately.
You've summarized it inaccurately unfortunately. Taylor was part of the warrant, not simply because it was her address. This has been publicly put to bed:

"The connection with Glover is an important piece in this puzzle. The narcotics investigation was not just going after Glover, but several people believed to be involved in a drug trafficking ring. Police had reason to believe that Breonna Taylor had been involved because they believed that packages were being delivered to her apartment which Glover picked up and he said that she was in possession of several thousand dollars that belonged to him."

This is readily apparent in the warrant.

And another, just to clarify. [1]
