Didn't all of this happen during and after March? If so... I'd expect "manpower shortage owing to massive internal redeployments due to covid-19" would be the explanation (though I haven't asked, because, frankly, that's the sort of highly specific question to which the answer is dead certain to be "of course I can't answer that".)

When most of the team is gone and doing non-Kindle stuff for the duration, relatively unimportant forward-ports of firmware for devices not actually sold for years and which still work perfectly well is not going to be anywhere near the top of any sane development team's priority list.
