This is to ensure that the transaction is not vulnerable to any potential blockchain reorganizations or double-spending attacks. As for the time it takes, it depends on the Ethereum network's congestion and the gas price you set for your transaction. On average, it takes around 3 minutes for each confirmation, so you can estimate the total time based on the number of confirmations required.
