That should be obvious with just a little research.

Instead of finalizing the draft started in 2015, they took the last year
to replace large parts of the specs while ignoring all deployed code by
the two major implementations (namely GnuPG and RNP which are based on
the WG group mailing list agreed drafts from 2017/2018).

The problem is called "Design by committee" and the inevitable
split/profiling of standards. 

GnuPG won't follow the likely outcome of the IETF OpenPGP WG because we
value our users and feel a responsibility to keep a deployed and
sensible moving ecosystem alive and working.

A pun on the name of one implemetation and the(ir) VC sphere.
