Switch entering its 3rd year on market, they are past any kind possible shortages, and we can actualy expecting some kind of revision this year too, also price cut this year is almost certaing thing in any case (through revision or through current model).

The shortages in 2017 were due to Apple wanting the same type of chip.  Nintendo doesn't always have full control of this even in their 3rd year.  However they could compensate.  If they have a normal Switch and then a Switch mini or "new Switch" (like "new 3DS"), then the two different models might actually have different processors.  This would allow them to make more of one model even if they run into a shortage on the other.

It doesn't have full control but its not same thing when you are in 1st year of product and few years after launch when you can plan things much easier regarding parts, production..
