This is a Chapter 7 liquidation. It actually isn't taking so long. For instance, Comdisco's Chapter 7 liquidation took over 15 YEARS. 15 years is more than most, but they still take much longer than comparable Chapter 11 bankruptcies.
There is little urgency in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, because all operations have ceased and the company is not incurring additional operating costs. Therefore, it takes a long time to liquidate all assets and distribute the funds.
