So, do we know why the Biden DOJ/FBI didn't arrest this guy? Surely they would have been trying pretty hard to find the guy.
Did Bondi/Patel finally do something praiseworthy for a change?

You already know the answer.
At least superficially, and until we know more, he doesn't obviously fit the Progressive Left's "narrative" of being a White MAGA Christo-Fascist Nationalist.
Biden et al. clearly soft-peddled the investigation hoping to memory-hole the entire incident.

Wray's FBI had access to the same data that Patel's did.
But Wray had a narrative to maintain: that the only violent political movement in America is coming from the right. Dontcha know that J6 was a literal attack on our democracy, as bad as 9/11 and 12/7 times fifty combined.
The FBI knew damn well who the bomber was, or at least had a good idea...and they dropped it. They dropped it because it wouldn't do to have some anarchist BLM guy be the main suspect.

Or….. in line with this administration’s rush to legally persecute its targets on the basis of easily overturned evidence……
The case against this guy is so flimsy that Patel and Bondi will again be humiliated by a Grand Jury or trial…. Which accounts for why Chris Wray didn’t pursue it.

Jan. 6 pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole confessed, said he supports Trump and has anarchist views: Accused pipe bomb planter Brian Cole Jr. confessed his crimes to the FBI, MS NOW reported.
Cole also told agents that he supported President Donald Trump and held anarchist views, according to MS NOW.
Cole was arrested nearly five years after allegedly placing explosive devices outside Republican and Democratic party offices in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. I note only that this is from the CNBC website, not msnow.

Etraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

There's this:
Over the years, persons of interest have come and gone, a former law enforcement official said. Cole didn’t become the focus of investigators’ interest until recent weeks, current and former US officials briefed on the matter told CNN.

let's weigh the odds of a trump pardon :
credits :
- 'stop the steal' motivation
- dems first
- ran out of time to ink 'for pence' on the gop bomb
- willing to wear as much MAGA accessories as needed on trial
discredits :
- non-causcasian , and thus represents a shi+hole country (maybe multiple)
