The group advancing DMARC was looking to preserve the installed base for a defined period of time
Work that comes to the IETF often has a significant history before that, often including a well-developed specification and significant installed base.
It is not uncommon to publish that pre-IETF specification as an RFC, to establish the formal background for the prior work. That's what was done for DMARC.
The political -- and, IMO, technical -- issues at the time merely served to delay seeking standards track for a revised specification, which is what is now being pursued. While this amount of delay is unusual, the sequence is not.
