Maybe. Delays happen. If the agent knew the reason, then yes, it would have been nice of them to inform you. I certainly would not write a letter of complaint about this or ask to speak to a supervisor to find out the reason for the delay.

No, unless perhaps you were making a connection that was in jeopardy or your delay was more than 2 hours.

At least you are not asking for any compensation.
