i have a question: if it is a waiting game, is it because the block reward is smaller?

No not necessarily. If the block reward is smaller miners might be more aggressive picking it up. It’s a free (fee) market, supply/demand. I believe miners have never been paid this well for this long since the halving.

A tx sitting on the mempool is one of the safest places to be.

After I think 5 to 7 days it’s returned to the wallet if uncleared.
