It's been easy to find a Pi in stock for months now. https://rpilocator.com

Why do you think that site exists in the first place?

Because it used to be difficult to find a Pi in stock.
But now it isn’t.

Maybe it’s news to you, but after years of shortages, reputation doesn’t change in months.

When was the last time you tried to buy one? rpilocator.com shows wide general availability, and my local MicroCenter has had a variety of models available for months.
But hey, maybe a sudden cash injection post-IPO will help them actually sell their products.
Of course, then they’ll have the problem of raising their prices, and people will eventually say, you know what, no thanks, and just use a competitor SBC.
You already basically can’t buy from them at a price that makes sense, or at all.
And the really cool thing is their website lists a bunch of legacy products that no partner sells anymore so you get the great experience of trying to figure out what the hell you can buy from them in the first place.
