In a word, PANIC!
Lots of new owners stocking up, lots of existing owners "grabbing while the grabbing is good".

Overall demand has outpaced supply & the end result is a scarcity at the retail counter. From everything I've heard online its 9 months till manufacture & distribution catch up, even working 24/7/365. Supply of materials to manufacturers is beginning to factor into the equation if that actually happens.
