Toyota not selling cars

In a Toyota dealer today for a service, and something like 80% of their models are currently not on sale.

The others are on sale but there is a multiple month lead time to actually receiving the car.

Is this the new normal now? Is it more profitable to sell cars abroad so there are fewer for the Japanese market? Is this some strategy to boost second hand car prices?

Why can you no longer walk in and just buy a car?
