At this point are they just artificially holding back supply because it's good for the bottom line?
I'm just too cheap to pay that much over MSRP, it's more the principle that anything lol.

To an extent, yeah. More often than not dealers have no control with the new cars they're getting in so a way to control supply is make it harder for people to get them aka maximize their profits. Demand is basically higher than supply so hard to make money if you don't have something to sell.
When I got my 4Runner last year, I paid MSRP with no room for negotiation and that was with connections too. They did sell it to me without having to trade another car in though, or add a bunch of extended warranties, paint protection, etc. I considered that a win already in this day and age lol.
