Sounds like they don’t have many available for shipping if it takes that long. Maybe a supply chain issue, maybe they underestimated the demand, maybe none of the above.

My observation from previous releases, Apple brick and mortar stores have good supply upon launch. I think they prioritize stocking those. I think they keep separate stock for online pickup and store walk-ins, though. The online pickup, I believe, is available a bit later.
Then Apple online orders are shipped directly from factory as fast as they can make them. Typically, actual delivery dates are often 1-2 weeks earlier than the website estimate.
