I don't think it's about that at all. I'm pretty sure the PC version has been completed for months, maybe a year, and the problem is the 8 consoles. Stadia in particular. If they'd released the PC version and consoles later as they're ready for the ones lagging behind dragging the rest down it would be better. But they probably have contractual obligations and EU law with preorders makes things difficult. They could get around that if they really wanted to by releasing "early access" when they're ready then the "official" launch all on the same day. That way they fulfil their legal & contractual obligations while not flat out lying to people telling them no more delays then delays literally the next day. That's what bothers me the most about it, honestly. The lack of credibility. I feel sorry for the people that took off after they said no more delays and even confirmed no more delays, only to go back on it the next day.
It works out well for me though since the hybrid cards don't come out until mid/late November. Now I don't need to be quite as stressed about trying to get ANY card I can get my hands on and can just focus on the hybrid once it releases. The Zen 3 CPUs on the 5th are a bigger worry however. No telling how that's going to go.
