I agree that it's not a good sign, but I wonder how much of this decision comes because Zen4 is selling poorly and how much is Zen4 not selling as much as Microcenter planned/hoped. After all, it's been only 5 days, which makes this decision feel a bit rushed, especially when you consider that people can be waiting until not only the B mobos launch, but also until Intel launches its 13th gen before making a decision.

Well, good for those that can take advantage of this offer, and we'll see what happens with the 7000 series in the coming weeks and months.

Another reason could be that they have too much DDR5 memory lying around and use the new Ryzen Chips to get rid of them. Seems a bit more likely to mee considering Ryzen 7000 are not even out for a week now.

I think everyone reading way to much into the Microcenter deals.  Microcenter very commonly even on new CPU have awesome deals that available in store only.  They never available for online purchase.  I think there strategy is if you actually go to the store to buy a CPU you are far more likely to also buy your motherboard and other components while you there.  They don't have a lot of locations but if you lucky enough to live close to one it one of the last places that actually worth going into instead of just buying it online.
