Yeah, leaving aside the shortage, I do think
1) M1 MacBook Air starts at $849
2) M2 MacBook Air starts at $1099 for a while
is plausible.
I don't think they'll introduce new models at significantly lower price points, no. We might like that, but with the revenue growths they've seen with the Mac, what's their incentive?
Financially, the Mac is doing better than ever!
