The title is misleading, and the blog conclusion is too: "While there have been some mistakes along the way and lessons learned, this particular mass production mishap would not have happened without the current supply shortage that increased the complexity of the design, sourcing, and manufacturing." This were internal communication errors on multiple counts, and those shortfalls had nothing to do with supply shortages. Internal communication didn't ensure QA knew what to test, and that a part manager knew what to order/source. It doesn't matter why the board was designed the way it was, many boards are way more complex than the board in question! Many boards also have multiple revisions, and changes, through their lives. Board complexity did not cause the issue here, communication issues did.
