the IETF TLS working group has limited time/energy.

the IETF TLS working group has limited time/energy. He has been (very successfully) taking up a good deal of this with very annoying procedural techniques (and his most recent move, spreading falsehoods regarding an RFC then asking people to brigade a vote on the RFC). Explicitly, this slows down standards, which delays the PQ transition. Again explicitly, this is not the main RFC for PQ TLS, which details a hybrid construction. This is an RFC with "recommended to implement = N" marked about how to do PQ TLS 1.3 in environemnts where hybrids are too expensive, for example hardware where it necessitates both a SHA2 and SHA3 impl.
