These shortages are due to wrong commissions in 2020, these chips are also on a different / older process compared to the GPU / console market. They had predicted a downward trend, they had not predicted that the west could not spend money.
The GPU / console shortages are due to several factors, combo launches of GPU / CPU and 2 of the most popular console in a 90 days window, the bottleneck of too few chip manufacturers and Corona Home Office, Home entertainment states.
PS: The bottleneck of too few chip manufacturers: these manufacturers also draw up contracts and commissions, so the top at TSMC knew well that they would have production problems in Q4 2020 and Q1 2021.
