"Because they are taking their sweet time on getting this form to us. Does anyone feel the IRS may delay the 2021 payment"

The IRS released the draft of the form last Sept. They released the final about 2 weeks ago. Intuit then has a bit of time to create their programming version and get approval, before releasing it.

I doubt the IRS will change tax filing just to help out Intuit. Nice thought, though.
