Never experienced issues getting anything from LVMH. What's scarce there? If you message your sales person they will have it next time you visit the store.

The Hermès Birkin bag[0] is probably a better example.

It's the same thing as the OP isn't it? Try buying the LV tote online. You can't. You have to call to be put on an artificial waitlist to spend $2000 on a bag.
I never experienced a waiting list for LV. I can happily buy a Neverfull Tote bag online. If I order it today I have it on time for Christmas. Definitely not the Rolex experience of years long waiting list.

Maybe it's because I message the sales person ahead of time when I go to the store and indicate what I want to see so they get it in the store for me. That's not even possible with Rolex.
