The position is one where you speak for the White House, behalf of the administration. Opinions at the podium, on the record, are not considered to be your own.

I don't usually watch White House briefings, but I've seen some clips from when Sean Spicer was the Press Secretary. He quite often purposefully made a distinction between his own opinions and those from the President or the White House. Now, if the current Secretary does the same, then, no, there IS a difference between "I" and other pronouns.
