You’re right and wrong. It’s not about ‘they willingly didn’t buy the warning light’
but
it was indeed American Airlines who pushed Boeing into making another shortcut warmed up 60 year old design plane with the 737max by asking for a quick lower cost plane. Lower cost that could only be achieved by lower kerosine sucking engines (which didn’t fit under the 737) and by ‘oh god forbid we do not want to train pilots’ type rating commonality.
Let’s not forget that the whole “we only got training via an iPad lesson” is exactly what American et al wanted. They wanted to save money on simulator lessons / new typerating training.
