Maybe because Trump tried to stop handing out Visas in 2020 so it all was postponed.. and Biden inherited the mess?

"A former White House Homeland Security official has accused the Trump administration of deliberately obstructing visa processing for US allies in Afghanistan.

Ms Troye went on to say that while Mr Pence was fully aware of the problem, it was impossible to make progress because Mr Trump and Mr Miller had “watchdogs in place” at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, State and security agencies to make the process even more difficult."
Now i am not sure whether this is true, but to me it perfectly fits into the policies of those days in 2020.
But in one thing you are right, if Trump was still potus there would be 6000 or so less Afghan helpers to be rescued because they would not even have received a visum.
