For Everyone's Information
I just learned that the oil cooler kit's are on national back order from Ford and aren't expected in until around the first week in september, so if you're planning that repair make sure you have parts IN HAND before you start.

My guess is that the effect of the new flash, and general awareness among techs and owners, has increased demand above normal.

What does the new flash do with regards to the oil cooler?

The latest flash, about a year old now, sets a DTC if the oil cooler efficiency is below specification. The specification is that oil temp should not exceed 15°F above coolant temp.
In addition, lots of us are watching oil temps like hawks now, where a year ago we were blissfully ignorant.

I believe the new flash will set the CEL when EOT & ECT spread is over 15 degrees. Therefore its getting attention more now...

Does the whole oil/EGR cooler issues lead to head gasket failure?

A good way to drum up a ton of business though, no doubt!
