Your characterization is not accurate. Please reference the government slides themselves:

Nothing in those slides contradicts me.

The PRISM vs Upstream slide makes it very clear that PRISM requests are done through the front door, because PRISM-to-vendor communication is 'laundered' through the FBI.
