Low supply = more demand, higher cost per unit. Why build to meet demand 
when you can increase the value (and therefore the cost) by not keeping up 
with demand instead?

Let demand jack up the cost, change your product from a commodity to a 
specialty item, and make more money selling fewer units - and get free 
advertising bumping your product from one of dozens to The One People Need 
to Have.

Marketing 101.
