With Hath pool mining empty blocks it doesn’t surprise me.

That mining pool is creating a lot of BSV blocks with no transactions in them, other than giving themselves the mining reward. I’ve seen them get 3 or more in a row which will push your first confirmation out 30+ minutes if your timing is unlucky.
Interesting. I did not know that went on. I imagine it's because they can construct the block faster increasing the odds of winning the block reward? Huh. Wild. Thinking that all thru is a cool exercise.
They use BSV for merged mining to support their own network I believe. They choose not to include transactions in blocks.
I’m not entirely well informed on the subject, but you can read more here: https://hathor.network/get-started/
They have a fair amount of hash which gives them good odds, but for some reason they don’t include any transactions, except the block reward TX. Empty block still adds a confirmation to previous blocks but doesn’t help you if your TX is still unconfirmed.
