This whole thing about "can't find bike parts" is overated. You just have to be willing to look at other places.
I just recently put some new parts on my mountain bike...Dropper post, dropper post lever, 2 new SRAM rotors, new seat, new cables, new SRAM X01 Shifter...ordered all parts from Amazon and had them within a week.

However this worn out routine of somebody listing a Google search as proof there aren’t supply issues is just getting old.

Merlin lists them as in stock at 2 for $86.68 USD for 25mm but the 28 are out of stock. I am aware that the GP5000 seems to be a lot of people's favourite tire, but there are other fish in the sea. I have Schwalbe Pro One on one bike and while I have found them a bit fragile, they are a good tire and they seem to be priced a bit lower at $35.57USD.

Why don't you place an order and see how fast they come.

Michelin pro 4 endurance don't measure under size and wear better than most. $42. If they made a tubeless version that's what I would buy.

Lordgun has GP5k clinchers in stock in various sizes for around $40+, depending upon size and sidewall. Looks like Lordgun has added FedEx and UPS as more economical shipping options, too - I'm getting ~$17 for shipping instead of the ~$30 that was typical with DHL (the DHL shipping is blazing fast, though).

Lordgun is the bomb. I have ordered several sizes of the Pirelli's from them and get them in 3 to 4 days from Italy to Florida.

Now, $95 for a bike tire is something to complain about. My car tires cost appreciably less than that.

Also, have you tried deflating these to see if they stay seated?

I just picked them up from the shop this morning and haven't rode them yet. I'll try to get out tomorrow for a shakedown ride. No idea on if these tires stay bead locked on deflation, but I'll try that soon and let you know.

FWIW - the Zipp tire pressure calculator spits out 56.6psi front and 60.3psi rear for me, based on this tire/wheel combo. I was previously running hooked 32mm TL's at around 60psi on narrower rims, so I'm assuming these will feel pretty similar at those pressures.
