Well I hate to sound like a broken record here but in this instance there's been a global shortage of NAND flash memory components key to the Switch's production. So increasing production has been a challenge. In the 2 or 3 times this happened in the past with regards to their consoles (both handheld and home), they came in conservative at launch and ramped up production in a hurry, though with the Wii demand was just outrageous. They likely planned the same here, but upping production requires negotiating new contracts with component suppliers and the shortage has made that quite difficult.
