The question is posed, during the USA's current shortage of infant formula
(May 2022), why BFg is not being promoted (presumably as a solution).

Because this isn't as simplistic as a formula-versus-breastfeeding crisis.
"The systems that are supposed to prevent an infant feeding crisis are
broken. The U.S. government has repeatedly failed mothers, children, and
families...." (from Dr. Aunchalee Palmquist's excellent blog, linked below).
