well i would say and not doing bashing or any speculation yada yada ....
Some companies take a very long time to revert back to pre-covid times
Some middle man are making huge profits, and some buy anything they can find, even before some distributors get their hands on them ...
you may have to change designs as we did in some cases, even got fake parts, using Zynq fpga who got 10x times their normal pricing etc ... list goes on and on ...
Some distributors like Digikey, Mouser, Electrosonic .... some have lost their ways if i may say, a mere rf connector at 5$ is now 25$ a piece
