Why wouldn't they confirm his appointments? Senate is controlled by dems right now. They can either confirm Biden's appointments, and have a dem judge, or not, which risks Trump making appointments to these same positions.
Only time the judges don't get confirmed at the end of a president's term is when the opposing party controls the senate. See: end of Obama's term and his appointment of Garland to the SC.

This wasn't the normal process and I don't think it should be treated as such. It was a cynical ploy by the GOP to highjack SCOTUS. Unfortunately it worked.
