As we all know, Bricklink was bought by Lego Company a while ago.

So, I am wondering, why does it take so long ("inventory pending") until the
inventories of new sets are online here at Bricklink? What's the problem
to take them directly from the mother company and put them online from release
day #1?

If you see "Inventory pending" a user submitted an inventory which is pending
approval. Maybe you mean both new sets without an inventory and new sets without
an inventory pending?
