What is the root cause of the shortage and what is being done to address them? Is it a regulation problem or an evil corporation problem?

There are a lot of assertions in this post, endorsed by apparent experts, saying that the problem is the supply, and also that the problem is the demand. If anyone can provide it, I would appreciate answers in quantitative terms. The supply of this class of drugs is either more than, less than, or the same as it was in some index year when there was not a problem, let’s say 2019. And by what factor. Same for prescriptions written. Since these are by and large controlled substances, there should be clear records.
