I'd like to know if this is for some "reason" or if it's just a delay for no reason, so I can think about whether to stay with the platform or move. This is my livelihood at stake.

The reasons why a payment is delayed can only be found by consulting support, since here, none of the people who can answer you have access to that information.
What has sometimes been seen is that payments can be delayed due to a problem with validation, or because there is some suspicious movement in the payments, for example, someone bought your game using a stolen card. It is not the seller's fault, but until Itch can clarify those movements, the payment remains "in review".
The good thing about Itch is that you can request payment whenever you want and without having a waiting time between sales and requesting payment. The bad thing is that you cannot be sure that it will always take the same amount of time to pay you. One thing for another.
