An alternative reason could be that they are in a great place right now.
Despite the usa's promises, china's economic chokehold could theoretically let them invade with few repercussions.
It would explain the slow but increasing escalations, as if they were testing the waters and making the west used to their prodding.
Honestly I don't know if the usa could survive the economic hit of war with china, I doubt it would be worth it at all.
Infact it would seem they would rather use nukes than loose it if they invade taiwan.
