Yep, even if they doubled their production that would still only account for maybe 20-25% market share compared to NVidia if going by the last quarter's GPU shipments of both of them. It may be more if NVidia's shipments were lower, which they certainly are for Q1 at least, but it looks like NVidia's production is back up to normal, so we'll have to see if AMD can increase it's share more than that in the coming months.

I think everyone was kinda' caught off guard on how competitive the RX 9000 series in general was.

Harkens back to the idea that there is no such thing as a "bad GPU" only a "bad price". - AMD just hit the right price even if their Path Tracing  performance and power consumption isn't the best.
Helps their drivers are solid these days as well which is a bonus.

I think it's not entirely about how competitive AMD got, it's more about how much NVidia stagnated this gen in terms of performance (which allowed AMD to catch up in the first place) plus all it's other blunders like bullshit marketing, bad drivers, blackscreens... pretty much everything AMD had been accused of now suddenly happened to NVidia, which probably had a big effect to shift buying intentions toward AMD this gen.
