Well technically nobody "has to" give you the gun after 72 hours of the delay. They don't even "have to" sell to you if you're approved. The law states that even after approval, it is still ultimately the FFL's decision if they want to sell to you or not. If you're approved but the FFL thinks there's something fishy about you (like you were talking to your friend on the phone inside the shop about just getting out of prison the day before for a murder charge) they can still refuse the sale.

The 72 hour limit on a "delay" simply makes it an "approval" by default. But if the shop wants to CYA and wait 30 days or until NICS gets back to them, it's their decision.
