> A year is a long time to wait for a pre-order.

You haven't pre-ordered it at all, you just reserved your spot in the queue for refundable $5. And no, we're in 2022; supply chains barely start to recover from post-COVID shortages. It's not unexpected to wait for a year or two for consumer hardware like that - there's often a long time between "product starts shipping" and "production ramps up to significant volume" now, which didn't use to be as noticeable pre-pandemic, as normally you want to ramp up as soon as possible to benefit from economies of scale.
