Company policy to delist scalped products. It's quite simple. It's not like these listings are hard to find.

One step at a time. Support for an entire manufacturer's line, not just a couple hardware configurations is a massive step already for a distro that was originally designed for specific hardware.

There are two tracks of thought here.
1. The US Tariffs are raising the cost too high. So US inventory is not being restocked.
2. The DRAM constraints are raising the cost to manufacture too high. That affects both the RAM and SSD in the system. This would affect all manufacturing of the Steam Deck.
As for it only being the US, they're not going to be shifting international inventory after already situating it in more local distribution centers and dealing with customs. So the question comes down to, are the international stores/distribution centers still being restocked, or is everything on hold and the US just happens to be the first to sell out?
