Is this a shortage of every type of RAM simultaneously?

Every type of DRAM is ultimately made at the same fabs, so if one type is suddenly in high demand then the supply of everything else is going to suffer.

Wait, really? For CPUs each generation needs basically a whole new fab, I thought… are they more able to incrementally upgrade RAM fabs somehow?

Essentially yes, not necessarily equivalently but every type has increased substantially
