HitBTC, Bittrex and Freeewallet are third party exchange/wallet services that committed to distribute airdropped IGNIS to users holding there NXT at the snapshot, but the time they need to have everything ready can differ in each case. These services never said that users would get their IGNIS at most one day or two or six after Ardor launch.
Nxt and Ardor as platforms could only guarantee that ALL the accounts in the network would have their earned IGNIS at launch, and that's what happened. Anyone who had their Nxt passphrase has been able to access their IGNIS since January 1st. The difference with having your NXT in a third party service account is that, when you look at your Freewallet or Bittrex balances, you're not looking at the balance of an actual Nxt/Ardor account. You're looking at an internal balance used by the service for your account, not at the blockchain. In the airdrop, the service receives all the IGNIS in their central account (where all the NXT belonging to all users are held), and then they have to distribute it to their users balances accordingly, activating IGNIS in their service at the same time. So to do this distribution, they may need to
1) After Ardor launch in January 1, wait to confirm that all is well and the new network is stable
2) Start their IGNIS node, test that transactions work well. Adjust blockchain fee parameters, which in case of Ardor requires more precision than in a platform like Nxt
3) Add IGNIS to their exchange interface
Then they can assign the IGNIS to the new IGNIS balance of all users, and users can trade it right away.
I don't think it will take very long for all exchanges to do their distribution, but it's been just a week and a wait at least this long made sense to happen.
