With shelter in place orders suddenly doubled the need for TP for homes. Paper mills that target big buyers (who buy by the pallet) use different paper, packaging, and contracts than paper mills that target grocery stores. Sure there's panic buying on top of this, but that hides the fact that there is an actual shortage. Paper mills run on low margins and already (typically) run the mill 24/7 so there's not much more excess capacity.
