the 737max is not really any more unsafe than any other fly-by-wire aircraft - aerodynamically unstable aircraft are not really unusual, and this one isnt even really unstable in 99% of its flight envelope, just one specific place - and its not even unstable, it just handles differently than other 737's. I agree with you, Boeing should have done a clean sheet redesign of the aircraft for this segment, not patch up the 737 for another decade of production - but I cant really tell them the reasons they made this choice are bad - airlines like and want more 737's, a completely new type creates a bunch of extra costs on all parts - so a choice was made, and now Boeing will live with the consequences.
