I was induced with my first, ended up with an emergency c-section - Milk was in on day 3 pp, oversupply with fast let down, took 3 months to correct
Planned c-section with my second -Milk was in on day 4, oversupply with fast let down, took 6 weeks to correct.

72 hr induction, vaginal delivery, and oversupply with overactive letdown. Lo screams, and chokes even when I express beforehand. I have hundreds in the freezer that's already going bad
-
I was induced, had a vaginal delivery, and have no supply issues. My milk came early on day 3 and I've got a forceful letdown.
-
No inductions and spontaneous labor. I had an emergency c section due to pre-eclampsia. I had a lot of troubles during the c section and ended up taking about 2 weeks for my milk to come in. Once it came in I had enough milk for my twins except for one bottle of formula a day. I breastfed them until they were one.
My daughter was a scheduled c section and I had no supply issues. I breastfed her until 18 months -
Induced with a vaginal birth, abundant supply. Spontaneous, natural waterbirth, no supply problems, but I would say that my milk is abundant this time. More like we're getting by, and we have bad days here and there. I mostly blame that on my being much more active and consuming less calories this time, though.

While being induced could cause a delay in milk coming in or cause short term low supply, I really don't think it can be held responsible for long term supply issues once the breasts are. Getting enough stimulation. Of course if babe has trouble feeding because they aren't "fully coked" or other issue it could play a role.
I had a spontaneous vaginal delivery at term and had low supply.
-
Induced which led to emergency csec. Milk came in day 2 or 3 and EBF until 16 months!

I've had one very medicated labour that was augmented with pit due to failure to progress and one natural labour with only gas and although I had various issues with bf'ing, low supply wasn't one of them.
Interestingly enough, I have read that the same hormones and issues that "cause" infertility can interrupt the bf'ing process and it wouldn't surprise me if those same issues can mess with the birth process too (rather than it being the birth process that messes with nursing).

I had an emergency c-section and no supply issues and then a scheduled c-section and no supply issues.

2 spontaneous vaginal births with very different breastfeeding situations. With my first kid I had chronic low supply and thought it might be just the way my body works. In hindsight, not really, I just did a bunch of things wrong - trying to nurse on a schedule from very early on, supplementing the first night in the hospital, not eating enough, not realizing that his fussiness was hunger. I tried hard to avoid the same mistakes the second time and actually ended up with an oversupply. It's regulated itself by now, but I still leak enough milk to build up a small stash without pumping
