I think fritz is taking his time because the nature of the position has changed alot in the last 2 moves. Look at the position after 21s and compare it to the current one.
After 21s, silver was on the verge of getting control. Now it is gold that could soon have control. Fritz is a player that likes to have control. The current position is not suited to his style, so a long think is to be expected.

It took the Mob a very long time to come up with 22g. If gold wins, that move will probably be the turning point. So maybe it will turn out that 21s was a mistake, but its too early to tell.

Moreover here Silver really has many possibilities, with none clearly better than any other, and none clearly good enough. So it's really natural he thinks that much.
For example, aside from the previous proposals, he could try
hf3 Ee3 Dd5 (or c6)
This is different from the the same with Hf4 because we need four steps to threaten dog, so we notably cannot block Silver's elephant with the cat...
