It's actually the fourth release change: November 2019, February 2020, April 2020, November 2020, and now April 2021.
Man, this had to be a last-minute decision. They were releasing promotional tie-ins, a music video, and a new trailer last month. The advertisers are losing money with each and every release change.

No guarantee a vaccine will be out by then. Just release it in the theatres now.

They released the official music video for the title song from Billie Eilish just yesterday.

They might well as release the movie on streaming because God knows where will we be by April 2021.

I wonder when they'll relent and just release it on demand.

For the studio, the problem is figuring out how to get back their money (at the very least if not make a profit) for a movie that it likely spent over $200 million on. Just releasing it to On Demand, Netflix, DVD/Blu-ray won't be enough.
That's one reason why the studio wants to keep delaying the film. So it can get it in the theater and really make the most money.
For a smaller-scale, cheaper movie like Bill and Ted 3, it can skip the theater and still have a good shot of making its money back with On Demand, Netflix, DVD/Blu-ray, etc.

Now it's looking really bleak for movie theaters.
It's an understandable decision though, considering that Covid numbers are rising in Europe again, and some countries are preparing for a new lockdown.
But the longer they wait, the more likely that cinemas won't be able to survive the crisis, and they will have to release it on streaming eventually.
