Yes, the article mentions the manufacturing bottleneck.

It's insane that after seeing the effects of the first 2 bombs, military leaders still lobbied for more to be dropped.

The nuclear bombs were hardly more cruel than any other part of WW2. Nukes killed a comparatively low number of people. Per unit, nukes are scary, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

Only if Japan didn't surrender after themselves seeing the effects.
