Why is there a Pokemon card shortage?

Short? Cause everyone and their mom decided Pokemon cards are the next big thing again. Scalpers using bots didn't help either.
Actually, I think the shortage is overblown. Sure, some cards are hard to get, but if you're really into collecting, you'll find a way. Maybe not at retail, but there's always trades and community sales.
Production just couldn't keep up with the crazy demand. Pandemic had everyone looking for hobbies and Pokemon cards were a hit, leading to shortages.
