There's been an announcement that the supply chain has been retooled, and we can expect lots of stock by summertime. That's a short enough timeline that I say let's wait and see, first off.
Second, kids and schools have not lacked for platform tools to learn about electronics and computing - we are drowning in computers, and any instructor that wants to teach kids about GPIO can get any of about a billion arduino clones for a couple bucks apiece.
Your comment presumes that things will stay this way for good, and that isn't the case regardless; they're very due for a Pi 5 release, and picking a new SoC with a reliable supplier is a good way to sort both issues.
Anyways, let's see what it looks like come Labor Day.
