For our most recent project, conceived in the middle of a chip shortage - it was availability that was the primary element. If you can't buy it, especially for a project to be developed within a month or two ... then it's pointless.
But in other times, I'd say features/cost matching needs is important. Other times, especially for RF, availability in a module with antenna that is pre-qualified can be a major sway.
