I don't see them as having any major credibility gap personally. Until the crazy chipageddon stuff started (which, BTW, affected the entire industry) I was routinely to buy Raspbery Pi 4 Model B boards at (approximately) MSRP. Same for the Pi 3 before that.

Call me crazy, but I don't have any problem believing that things will get back to normal soon, and that Pi's of various sorts will indeed return to MSRP, or very near MSRP.
