Intel tells PC makers to adopt 18A CPUs or lose their supply, report claims — Intel 7 supply dries up, pressuring notebook and PC manufacturers in the US, China, and Taiwan

I’m not at all surprised that they are favoring datacenter use cases for older model CPUs (2021, 2022 and 2024 models are what they are talking about here…)

These were also the models with major production issues on the consumer side with degradation issues, so i’m surprised any consumer manufacturer is pushing for intel 7 chips from those generations due to public perception.
