Did Intel only Release the 11th generation to Interfere with AMD’s growing Marketshare

Why do many people still think Alder Lake will be released in q4 2021?

It says this on Wikipedia too (with no sources). The previous CEO said Alder Lake won't go into volume production until the 2nd half of 2021. The 10nm SuperFin based server chips (DDR5 RAM support) are due for release next year, which I think is the biggest clue.

Err?
Rocket Lake is the same 14nm as Comet Lake so no new process just (finally) their first new (desktop) architecture since Skylake still using 14nm first introduced with Broadlake. Although Intel have spent the last 6+ years adding +'s to their 14nm.

Which is what I said. They are trying the newer style architecture on an existing manufacturing process. So 1 less thing to worry about. They know they can fabricate designs on 14nm scale, so it means they can try out the new designs concentrating on the design more.

Production H2 2021 and release Q4 2021 are the same thing. Intel can conceivably get the foundries churning July-September and start releasing something October-December. Besides, the talk about a Q4 release is it's actually a paper launch with press samples, with actual sales volume H1 2022 to take attention away from Zen 4's launch.

Server chip release means nothing. Intel aren't losing money in the server market so they can take their time in getting their CPUs actually decent. By all accounts, the new Ice Lake server chips will do well against EPYC Milan up to 48 cores, so there's plenty of time before AMD can get Zen 4 EPYC out the door, by which time Intel have Sapphire Rapids coming. It's the desktop OEM market that Intel needs to hold on to, and they're sure as hell not going to do that with Rocket Lake, so Alder Lake must come out soon.
