RPIs are increasingly hard to get or too pricey. What gives? Is it the supply chain issue?

  Yeah, same as everything else.

    Other boards are easier to find. As an example, over 18000 Beagleboards should arrive at Mouser by the next months, of which over 2500 are expected by tomorrow. TME.eu also have some ARM boards in stock, etc.

  Given that pi design files are open, they could presumably build their own. They would probably do this anyway.

    The newer Pi versions use SoCs that are only made for the Pi, you can't just go and buy them. (And even for the ones where it was a "normal" part, it's still Broadcom, they're not exactly freely selling parts)

    The datasheet suggests that it's a real CM4 inside the box.
