>Based off of what?
The timing of the barrier's explosion/dissipation seems more in line with Demogorgon's evaporation than the railgun hitting the barrier. At the beginning of the game, the dropships produce their own barriers and when they are hit, we see the barriers react. So, we have an idea of what it would look like if a barrier was directly hit and that's not what we see with Demogorgon/Spire 4. The other thing is that the barrier seems perfectly aligned with the position of Spire 4. It looks like a barrier protecting Spire 4 rather than something else.
>You're assuming that the cloak was destroyed
Well, if the cloak shrouding the entirety of the Colony wasn't removed in that single instance, then it's hard to say that was proof that the Colony is cloaked. The Colony may be cloaked, but that dissipation of the barrier near Spire 4 wouldn't be evidence to that idea. The Colony being completely revealed at the end of the Return to the Colony ending would have nothing to do with the barrier that was destroyed near Spire 4.

The hexagonal pattern used for the "barrier" that seems to disappear after Demogorgon dies is also used at the beginning of the game when the dropships activate their "shield". That would suggest they're similar or maybe even the same. But There are subtle differences.
>the "shield" on the dropships don't explode like the "barrier" does with Demogorgon
>the way the dropship "shield" disappears is from the outside in, but the Demogorgon "barrier" disappears from the inside out
>the "shield" appears, then disappears, appearing cloaked until it is hit, but the "barrier" doesn't appear despite the railgun blast shooting right through it
>the "barrier" stays hidden until the explosion, which is the same point when Demogorgon begins to disintegrate
Now, this could all be a matter of the degree with which the shield/barrier is affected by something like Naytiba anti-dropship missiles or a railgun blast, because the design pattern of both is almost the same. However, Mother Sphere and the Andro-Eidos are both products of humanity's technology and the war started after the Spires had already been built and were being used. That the Spire may have had its own shield/barrier that predates Mother Sphere's Colony or is otherwise separate but similar is a possibility.
But the way the shield/barrier appears then dissipates AFTER the explosion that coincides with Demogorgon's disintegration and NOT immediately after the railgun blast, makes me think the shield/barrier is tied more to Demogorgon/Spire 4 than Mother Sphere cloaking all of the Colony. I'm not saying Mother Sphere is not cloaking the Colony, but I don't think the barrier we see after killing Demogorgon is evidence to that possibility.
To me, it makes more sense that Demogorgon had control over Spire 4's barrier and that's part of the reason why Mother Sphere would not have made an attempt to attack it, given it is a very obvious point of connection between low Earth orbit and the surface.
