I think there was just a very small window post price-hike (March 2022) and pre-pre order without configuration (May 2022) that there aren’t many with a configured dual motor reservation. Pre price hike reservations have to pay more for a dual motor so they have no incentive to change from quad. I think I only configured a dual motor because I was originally Explorer trim but they got discontinued in I think October 2022.
There should be a new delivery update at the end of the month (since they do that quarterly), so I'm anxious to see it it has changed at all from May/June for me as well.
Just for reference my window was Dec-Jan received my truck late March. My wife’s lease was up in end of Jan so we chose to buy out the lease instead of extending it and sold it once the Rivian came in. YMMV, but I wouldn’t put tremendous weight in the estimates.
Profit
Just don't be surprised if delivery dates are extended....

I don't think there are issues specifically with quad motors, just that the dual motors require less of the parts that are still supply constrained (chips) and therefore can be produced in greater volume.
