I bought my first rpi 4 for like 30 eur, the second one I couldnt even buy.

Nice, but can you actually buy it?

Just like the current rpis, you won’t be able to. But businesses will.
Rpi is a for maximum profit company now, it’s not about supplying boards to hobbiests, it’s about supplying boards to industry

Why the over-dramatic doom-and-gloom? Have you tried ordering any in the last several months?

I ordered 4x Pi 4 8GBs a few weeks ago for a Kubernetes cluster without any issue. The stock problem cleared up a few months ago.

No it didn’t. The stock problem will be considered “cleared up” when you can wander into a Microcenter any day of the week and grab one, and that is very much not the case yet. At my local Microcenter, they’re still selling out within hours of receiving a shipment (and they’re only receiving like one shipment a month).

That mostly depends on the thoughts on profitability by the microcenter, not necessarily on general availability.

Sadly not so much on the CM4, which is what a lot of people are after these days.
Seem to be plenty of special-purpose bring-your-own-Pi carrier boards (like the Home Assistant "Yellow") that people haven't been able to get CM4s for in going on a year at this point.
