The supply constraint was likely a consequence of Nintendo not loading up on supply— a common practice with systems as they enter the very end of their lifecycles (you can’t have 1 million Switch OLEDs in supply warehouses when your looking at under 10 million WW LTD sales, for instance).
If you recall, this is actually why PS4/XBO sales flatlined midway through 2020, i.e. COVID sent demand well beyond what supply was capable of.
