Nope, but a new Safari Technology Preview version was made available, which is cool and which may (indirectly) indicate that the beta will come tomorrow, Friday, next week, the week after that, the week after that…or so on. 🤤

Perhaps a 14.3.1 today. Thursday is a good common release day. 
with safari preview, I'm thinking today.
wait ... you didn't email someone at the company again, did you?!?! 😜

No worries! At least we know for sure when now - you're just batting like .100 is all! 🤣Darn it! I was wrong again
It does feel like ages since a last update but I’m sure next week will see betas and public release of say 14.3.1

No. It didn’t work out because Apple didn’t schedule it for this week for reasons known only to Apple. They didn’t arrive at 10 am Tuesday and say “Gosh, we thought it was ready, but it’s not. Well, we’ll have to put it back into the oven for another week!”
No but they did need to catch up on all the issues and bugs inside the software and work them out. They stopped working on it at Xmas time and there is a lot of bugs to fix. So programmers needed a week to implement the fixes.
it doesn’t magically fix it self
You are missing the causation here: Apple makes the schedule and then sticks to the schedule. They are not adjusting the schedule after the fact because the Christmas holiday showed up. They may have allowed for the holidays (quite likely they did) but they didn’t wake up last week and say “gosh, we forgot about the holidays! We’re going to have to add an extra week to the beta schedule”.
That’s not what I said and if you knew they took time off for the holidays it was on their feed back app
so yes when they got back they needed a week to get start working on the issues
Even if presumably they needed a week just after the holidays, the beta that will come out the week starting 11 January will certainly not contain the work done in the week just after holidays. That upcoming beta in week of 11 January will definitely have code worked out prior to holidays.
the work done this week just after holidays will show up in later week releases (18 January and onwards).

Depends on what might have been addressed. If something major enough was discovered recently and a fix or a tweak was put in to deal with it in the last week it's possible it can also be part of what gets released.
I don’t think there has been an earth shattering issue affecting a spectrum of users or known so far.
