I wouldn't look at it that way because the TAKATA air bag debacle is MASSIVE and has affected multiple car manufacuturers for multiple years.
I'd be grateful that they contacted me BEFORE taking off work or making other arrangements to bring the vehicle in...to then find out that you did all that and they can't work on your vehicle because they don't have the parts.
Since they have your info and they contacted you due to lack of parts in the system...I'm sure they will notify you when parts are available and you can get back in.
Good luck...again, I wouldn't take this as sketchy but them being pro active in not pissing off a customer.
BTW, you can see in the pic below (from 2015) how many BMWs were affected at that time...let alone all the other car mfgs that are affected world wide. And since then, even more vehicles have been added to the recall:
