What exactly do you propose they invest in? There aren't enough chips to go around - this is affecting everything from Raspberry Pis to car manufacturing.
The cause is a combination of Covid, trade restrictions (for really high end stuff) and some weather affecting the current fabrication plants.
There's only 2 things that can change this - one is more production out of the current semiconductor fabrication plants, the other is more plants. More plants are being build and in different locations to spread the risk around and I doubt the current plants are giving up on production capacity if they have a choice.

I've already answered that question: Invest in better R&D to ease the manufacturing of boards.

Which will do what? Manufacturing boards isn’t the problem. There’s no chips to put on them…

Which means that when chips will be available, the production process will be shorter.
