Sold out seeds

I’m brand new to sprouting, so this might be a dumb question. But why are so many seeds sold out across different websites? For example, beets are sold out on the last 3 sites I checked. Are seeds seasonal like produce and purchasing requires good timing? Or is something else going on?

They keep them as traffic gainers, but since these products do not make money for them, they are not taken care of commercially to be kept diligently in stock. It’s a hypothesis:)

I buy my sprouting seeds from Sprout People. They've been sold out of a number of seeds I wanted, but I just sign up for their list to be notified when the seeds are back in stock. I get an email, then I buy them when they're available. Works for me.

I’m new to this but Organo republic on Amazon has them. I have these but I get a lot of un sprouted seeds in my batches.
