I've found that in Libby, an artificial scarcity is imposed by limiting the number of people who can listen to an audiobook at the same time. Is this economically-driven, or a software issue? Some audiobooks have 20-week waits.

Nothing to do with software. It's an arbitrary restriction by the publishers who charge by number of copies.

They don't renew the license. Some will keep one copy. Depends.
