In fairness, they got Reed (also a former marine) back from Russia earlier this year. Whether bull shite or not Whelen was convicted of espionage so the Russians might require more than Bout to let him out.
Plus Paul Whelan & his family publicy pleaded with Trump / State Department as far back as 2019 to obtain his release.

I think the fact that Whelen has been a lower priority for administrations has a lot to do with the fact he was kicked out of the Marines for attempted theft of $10k among other things. They prioritized Reed because he was by all accounts a "good" Marine.
