Exactly this.

It seems fairly obvious Boeing was aware the 737-MAX had some serious faults, but instead of admitting those faults it seems fairly obvious they went out of their way to deflect blame way from their failed aircraft onto the now dead pilots.
- salawat 8y agoThis is because of Product Liability law. If they admit in any way to releasing a known dangerous product they open themselves to massive damages.

When the Lockerbie bombing brought down Pan Am Flight 103, the relatives sued PA AM over those deaths. In that case a jury found Pan Am was liable for damages because it's poor security procedures had failed to protect the passengers. I would imagine lawyers would be salivating at the though of suing Boeing over these two disasters in what would appear to be a much easier case to win.
