The 2.1 update was supposed to be released in December with the winter update. However, users only received the 2.0.4 update, which was intentionally released to fix in-game bugs. Thus, Nintendo wasn’t quite finished adding the thing it planned earlier before the holiday. Because of that, developers have to delay the release date of the update.
In addition to that, it also proves why minor updates contain so much content other than bug fixes. Furthermore, it also suggests that more content might arrive in the future with the 2.1 update. Regardless, these are just speculations, so please believe it with a grain of salt.
