So what did all those people that couldn't get a RPI do? Stop doing stuff or did they move on? I'm pretty sure the other brands saw a big uptick in sales but if you know otherwise please do share as I have no numbers to back anything up.

It's true that the last few years have been rough for new users, but if they were already "doing stuff" with a Pi, why would they need to stop?

They probably had massive upticks in sales, which for them might have been quite significant but relative to the total Pi user base, not at all.
