Development is so slow because the devs behind the game already got more huge of a payout than they could have ever dreamed of. They didn't attempt to advertise the game or anything, it just happened to become a massive fad out of the blue like Among Us did.

If you were part of a small indie dev team working tirelessly on a game and suddenly your game took off and you had millions of dollars in your pocket in less than a month without the game even being finish, would you still want to develop the game? Or would you rather enjoy life with your newfound wealth?

This is the reason pretty much every "early access" title is a complete scam. Minecraft popularized the idea a long time ago and since then it has been rarely ever used for it's intended purpose. Indie teams make an interesting game and tons of promises for what it'll be to rake in as much cash as possible. Using the idea of "early access" to constantly make excuses for why the game will never be finished.
