I think they are also expecting competition. they don't want to raise prices and have someone undercut them. Lots of factors swirling about creating this mess.
Exactly. Thats why I got one for my Buick Enclave. I've got 80,000 miles on the filter. Cleaned and reused a few times. Just about at the break even ($) point.

This most likely will be settled at the dealership level.
When the stock EB start showing up just ask your dealer about getting one. They are inclined to make a sale as they don't make money on unfilled orders.
