I remember when the Audrey clone stuff was first added there was no option. Lex just picked to give the original to Savage. He seemed to change it due to the response on the discord.
Less than 1 in a 100 regular players (probably a lot a less) are patrons. So with the 3K payers there's going to be like 297K people not paying.
In terms of people that stopped being patrons (Seems to be over 60+ as you said) but if you look at

His highest Patron number are:
November 2020 (2740) - (Last build release)
December 2020 (2782)
January 2021 (3084) (possibility in anticipation of the build coming out?)
Feb 2021 (2706)
This might be a sign that 76 (or less) patrons got annoyed at the delays and unsubbed. Which means they potentially lost $456/minus tax/patron take etc ($6 on average per Patron) due to the delay in Feb.
That being said Patrons are back to 3072 (help from teasers) which is a loss 12 Patrons (which usually is an increase of at least say 18) which means they lost about 40 regulars there (minimum) $240.
So after looking at that the delays aren't impacting stuff too much (biggest negative financially for them in about 2 years) but it has limited their growth somewhat. There are knock on effects of stuff like delays, stagnates growth etc. For example if they never had delays they may be even at 3.6K patrons due to lots of little things adding together (extra awareness due to regular releases/trusted word.)
It's implied to be the next big event with Queen Bee. Maybe it'll come November 2021 or January 2022.
