Of course. They'll catch up to all the buying one of these days.
Several suppliers have LPP in stock now. You just have to be willing to pay the price and the hazmat fees.

Shoot SPP stuff.
All primers are high in cost these days.

???? You can get them now. I did a search with the terms 'large pistol primers' and the first three search hits all had them in stock.
As to "what do you do IF...." since they are available now, don't wait for "if". Buy a couple thou now.
Sure! A few places have them in stock now. Not cheap, but they have them. Or you can shoot something else and wait for them to get cheaper. But they may or may not!
I only use LPP to load .45acp. A friend hooked me up with .45acp SPP brass. Now I can load .45acp with either size primer.
Primers will return, but the question will always be if you're willing to pay the inflated prices? I'm pretty sure at my mid 70's age I have enough to last the rest of my life, so prices and availability don't bother me. But in my life I've paid $7.50 per 1000 to the last at $32 per 1000. So with about 60,000 primers stored now I'm likely not running out.
The days of inexpensive primers and powders have gone the way of the DODO bird. Buy now, and 10 years from now you will recall how cheap the primers were when you were younger.
Not looking too hard if you can't find them.
heres an ammoseek search I just did.

I reach for my stash of 45ACP cases with SP primer pockets and continue loading with SP primers.
Midway, and Powder Valley. Midway has the largest selection-right now. I know it hurt$$$, but it seems that is just the way it's going to be.

When or if I run out of LPP I will switch over to my SP brass cases. There are a lot of calibers these days that give you an option of Small vs Large. I made a decision about 8 yrs ago to buy brass with Sm primers if it was an option. The only ones I did not was with the larger Mag calibers which hold > 50gr of powder and those are not available in small.
I have a 5 gallon bucket of 45 ACP brass that takes LPP. Not a single round of SPP brass. I am too old to change over. I will do the best I can to stay supplied with LPP even I have to accept the current prices. I have enough now for a few years.

Panic...................................................................................................!
I'm still using Winchesters that I bought at the San Antonio gun show from the early 2000's ($75.00/5000). Had 20k at that time and am down to about 3k now. When I run out I will buy more. I won't like paying the price, but I don't plan to stop shooting. I am looking seriously at small primer 45auto brass. Save the LPP for the 44mag and 45 Colt.
I bought 1K SPP .45acp once-fired brass awhile back. That’s my plan. LPPs will be saved for .44mag so that should last a long time!
