You act like the manufacturers want this to happen. They are victims of the supply chain like everyone else. I have 2 products that I joined the Kickstart campaign and both of these are legitimate companies that have been selling products for 3-4 years. One product is almost a year behind because of issues that certain chips have not been available. The chips just became available with some shipping mid month and the rest by the end of the month so that assembly and testing can proceed and shipping by Christmas. The same for the other product. One issue with cameras, cars etc is that they aren't using the same die size as CPU's and GPU's used in computers. Both industries use older less expensive chips because they don't need all the power. The chip manufacturers just told the auto industry to design their components for newer platforms as they are using 90-120nm chips and I expect that cameras are built on chips larger than 20nm. They don't need the ability to put billions of transmitters and other components on a single chip which would increase heat and costs.
The shortages are hitting every industry because we rely so much on automation.

All that being said, shipping around the world is the slowest it's ever been in modern times. Not only are the ports at full capacity but the warehouses at the port are 98% full as of last week. There is also a very severe trucking issue as millions of drivers have left the business. There are a lot of jobs now paying the same or better and that is preferable to spending 10-14 hours a day driving.
