Canon, as you have stated many times in the past, knows their market much better than any of us.
We make this assumption but no company is omnipotent and mistakes can be frequent and not all of them are obvious as X/twitter
I am just an average Joe who likes photography. But I am also Not a troll. It is just disappointing recently it seems like the industry keeps on coming out saying tat demand was higher than they thought it would be.
Better higher than Canon thought than lower. Canon doesn't want to keep unsold stock on a shelf
Manufacturing or component supply chain restraints would be the only reason why Canon is not producing more. They would increase production if they could of course.
Imagine the millions of iPhones etc that are manufactured in advance of their annual announcement to satisfy the punters in the first week.
Imagine Apple's board approving the reported $1B that they paid TSMC upfront to guarantee 3nm capacity in their newest fab just for their A17/M3 chips.
Even more so with Tesla investing in lithium production facilities and even lithium mining companies to guarantee future supply from "friend-shored" countries.
Guaranteeing military purchases of chips from new fabs being built in Europe/Japan/US with substantial government subsidies on national security grounds.
The point is that the leadtime for essential components can be long, complex and expensive.
That said, the shortages of cheap/ubiquitous display driver chips would have "driven" car companies (and their sourcing managers) insane.
