It's crazy that I can't get a bicycle chain for the next six months, but these chipsets are shipping?

I would imagine if you were willing to buy a bicycle chain which had a several hundred dollar profit margin, then you would be able to find one rather quickly.

CPUs (and laptops) have high enough margins where it can take an airplane to wherever it needs to go.
Bicycle chains, not so much.

Why?
Supply chain chaos? I assume bike parts in the US come from overseas in shipping containers. One of my shifters broke in September and the local bike shop said they were out of parts and didn't expect to have any more until April 2022.

Other than the usual supply chain stuff, there was also a huge demand for bicycles and bike parts during peak COVID.
automotive sector scooping it all /s
