Having supply return to normal in mid-2022 confirms that the chip crisis will carry over into 2023. There's always lag time between the OEMs and retailers. Some sort of natural disaster or power outage is guaranteed to delay projections too.

There will be no oversupply -- that's pure BS coming from analysts hyper-focused on min/maxing everything. They've learned nothing from the current crisis.
