One could argue he was waiting for the oppertune moment. We know he killed Ronan for the Power Stone, he took the Space Stone from Loki. Went to Knowhere to get the Reality Stone. Then took Gamora to Vormir for the Soul Stone. Fought Tony, Strange, the Guardians and Spiderman over Time Stone. And finally killed Vision for the Mind Stone.

In Endgame he sat on his ass waiting for either of his daughters to bring him the gauntlet.

You said he was waiting for the opportune moment and then just described the plot of Infinity War.

One could argue that waiting until the Avengers had done all the heavy lifting and then attacking with the full force of his army to get them all at once is also the opportune moment.
