Processors, GPUs, RAM and now SSDs all having shortages? Yeah, we're not there yet but it's another step closer to "only the special people can have the good computers, there's not enough parts to go around".

It's quite silly, because engineers are always cooking up new ways to violate people's privacy and snitch to three letter agencies. Can't get the hot new surveillance tech out into the wild if the proles can't get it.
