For the second time Star Trek: Picard has made it into Nielsen’s chart of the top 10 original streaming shows in the USA, specifically at the number 10 spot. Unlike their broadcast ratings, there is a bit of a delay for Nielsen’s streaming rankings, so today they released charts for the week of April 10-16, which covers up through the ninth episode of Picard season 3.

Why would there be a nearly month delay?

I do not work at Nielsen, and I suspect only folks who work there know the true answer to your question. However, you'll note that the TV ratings are also delayed (just not as much) and that advertising spend is also delayed by an even greater amount. Syndicated TV is also delayed one extra week compared to prime broadcast TV and cable TV: https://www.nielsen.com/top-ten/

They'd be foolish not to make a spinoff.

I don’t think we’re going to hear anything about any new series while the writer’s strike is going on.
The producers may well already have plans, but they’re currently stuck. If they announce anything while the strike is ongoing, they’d have to start paying people without actually being able to get anything made.
Except Paramount+ has been bleeding cash all along...they are so far in the hole that if any new Trek is to be done, someone else may have to do it.
Apple should buy Paramount.
Alternating between this and SNW would be perfect.
