I suppose for some of the companies it is nice to have a bit of an order backlog when you have a low volume product to make. It can help you plan out your finances. If you scale up to more employees, a larger building, more tooling to try to fill orders immediately or as quickly as possible, you might run into a dry spell and have to think about layoffs, downsizing and selling off some stuff before the next wave of orders comes in. Slow and steady can be nicer than feast and famine.
It is not just SAI you need to wait for. There is usually a wait time for a Kirkham or an ERA (but hopefully not as long as SAI).
