> Why would a manufacturer consider damaging what is a potential mega cash cow?
There's no way the current problem is only the price, for sure they are already trying to sell the most they can, they simply can't produce enough of them. Allowing some kind of shadow production, handled by the manufacturer can only means much more product made thus sold. It's a win-win for both the manufacturer and the government.
> We're much better off right now with the government seizing the means of production and figuring out how to make as many as possible.
Sure that would work, but that's always been true for anything. If the government could seize production, it would be "cheaper" to produce because the cost of R&D and production has been already done. That's not healthy though, that will now be an added risk in the industry that will have a cost to be mitigated.
