The shortage of teachers isn't because advanced degrees find getting the

It has to do with the fact that a technical PhD can often earn in 5 days
what they would earn for a semester teaching.
Yes, their time is valuable.
It is also because they just want to get in there and teach. They don't want
to spend how ever long it takes to get some credential. They just want
to get in there and teach.
You are simply wrong. You have no data. And you don't even have
personal experience from which to posit.
Look, you're talking to someone who teaches and hangs around with other
folks who teach. Yeah, it's not data. However ...
If any of us wanted to teach high school, we would. Some of us
have--none have done it a second time. We would get and have gotten the
credentials and the background check (don't forget that, too). It's
just not that hard.
And, again, I'm going to state, if you can't be bothered to pass that
minimal a set of requirements, you don't deserve to be teaching. Sorry.
