Why all the no stock at Digikey and stock at Rochester Electronics

I don't mind the extra shipping because at least I can get the damn parts. That's the cost of keeping your old equipment to spec and not migrating your designs (that can turn into a endless money pit if you have something that works)

I guess I never noticed it because stock was available from Digikey. I had never even heard of them. I wonder if things will ever go back to normal.

It's the stupid "marketplace" crap that everyone is doing now, there was a big thread about this a while ago. With Digikey you have to check the ignore marketplace checkbox EVERY SINGLE TIME you search, it's infuriating and has pushed me to shop elsewhere when I can. So many places do this now, Amazon, Newegg, Walmart, etc, they have all this marketplace crap that clogs their searches, it's especially bad for brick & mortar retailers where I want to search for items that are carried IN THE STORE. If I wanted to order something there are lots of places I can do that.

When you're doing a 1-off batch, or can buy enough for your anticipated lifetime needs.

A 1-off is a prototype run? My understanding of a prototype is somewhat different.
