You're comparing a delay to a game that fails to recognize your purchase. Two very different things.
Nothing has been delayed. And no one is screaming end of the world. People afflicted by this problem, including myself, are rightfully upset that we don't have access to content that we've paid for. This is not something that can be subject to poor weather conditions, or delays in transportation.
And there is no guarantee that this will be fixed. Based on reading online, this doesn't seem to afflict the majority, and thus it's easy for it to slip on the under. It's entirely possible that it won't be fixed, and going by how the games industry is handling consumers in general now a days, it's even likely it won't be fixed.
See, this is what happens when people give up on the most basic of consumers rights. Once they have yur money, they won't necessarily put in all the effort that should be required of them. I'm not at all saying that this image fits Evolution Studios, but it's entirely possible that this problem will remain a problem. Even more so if the ball is in Sony's courtyard, as they seem to be preoccupied with other things.
It's not necessarily done out of neglect, but could simply be a result of not enough people being afflicted. Generally speaking, I think both Evolution Studios and Sony are fairly consumer minded, but that doesn't mean they'll fix every problem.
