Yes, the weeks post-Golden Week are the toughest period of the year. I think it was two years ago that a May week hit an all-time low for Media Create hardware sales tracking (MC tracks since ~20 years).
I am not sure if Switch is selling through all of its shipments right now. At 40k a week, that would leave ~30k units on store shelves from the past two weeks. Or maybe Nintendo adjusted the allocations for the individual regions because demand in North America is notably higher right now. 25-30k units per week for Japan still result in a comfortable #1 spot and that's what good PR is about; Nintendo wants to hit it big in the USA too.
Increased Switch production should become visible by July, or more specifically, by the time Splatoon 2 launches.

Increased Switch production was visible in March when they shipped 700k units more than initially planned.

No, those extra 700k units were shipped via airplane at end of March, and they are most likely units that meant to be shipped for post launch sales.
Increasing production requires time (espacily doubling production) it can't be done over night.

more like everywhere....

I hope you're not including AU, UK, Italy and Mexico in the everywhere category. Even the US has the Switch easily available.

Yes in AU and in Italy is available, but that isn't case for US, Japan, UK and some other European countries and you clearly talking nonsense.
Switch wouldn't have price of $425 on Amazon US if is "easily available".
