It sort of makes sense: If tariffs are here to stay, you're going to have to fundamentally change how your business operates in a way that's not easy (or cheap) to "undo". So you're better off punting until the last possible minute when you know you have to commit to the new reality.

Considering the reports of imports way down, it seems like retailers and others may be choosing just to not offer product rather than crank up prices in some cases.
That would fit the "can't alter my business that much..." mindset you're referencing I think.
