No, it's not that (and believe me, as an AR, I have to be very careful what
I say). Such is the demand for 2-8 GB Raspberry Pi's, they sell out in
minutes when any supplier gets stock.

There's a whole QAnon-like thing around the mythical Raspberry Pi 5. I've
heard people claim that the worldwide chip shortage has somehow been
engineered by Raspberry Pi Trading so we'll all be forced to buy the
Raspberry Pi 5 when it comes out. I wish I were making this up ...
