I just don’t think they were expecting that much demand for a controller. Last time they made a controller they ended up basically giving them away because pretty much nobody wanted them. I bought the 1st gen steam controller for $5 + shipping. I’m assuming they really didn’t want a repeat of that
Then they weren’t paying attention. They had wishlist numbers and a noticeable niche of YT was ablaze about it. Both of those were indicators at the least.
Not happening. They’ve botched the launch of their controller so I wouldn’t have faith in them making their way into anything with a large scale fab.
Not being able to meet demand is not botching.
Not having a clue about the demand for your product and reservation orders being a year away is botching.
And actually dealing with scalpers better for the the next product release. Like, who actually does that? Nobody.

I think the same thing happened with all the first gen versions of the prototype steam machines, back then, too.
