Yes, that does seem disappointing. OTOH, I understand why they want to make as many Model 3's as possible. However, if they're going to advertise the Powerwall and say it's available, and then quickly impose a 4 month (plus possibly X more months starting in Jan.), I think that sends a TERRIBLE message to potential consumers about Tesla's commitment on the Powerwall front.
I know Tesla fanbois will forgive Tesla almost no matter what, at least for awhile. I think the markets, market commentators, and regular customers will be a lot less forgiving if Musk repeatedly does stuff like this to maximize short term profits, or deal with over-commitments he's made which amount to little more than marketing hype.
