Everyone might have said "Let's wait for some of this congestion to clear up before we put it out there."
And I'm not saying that Trent & Atticus don't have some say in what gets released, but it's ultimately up to the studio to decide if they want to invest in something like that. Since Netflix has a fairly good relationship with Fincher, I'm sure they were okay with it from the start, but again, between the pandemic and a backlog of vinyl releases, they might have said "We'll do this when the time is right."
