This is pretty much nonsense. Crew Dragon is a huge step from Cargo Dragon and its not like Boing has never before had money from the government to develop stuff like that. The reason that Boeing gets more money is that companies could set their own price, and Boeing was very confident that they would be selected whatever the price. And this came true, they set their price 1.5 billion higher then Sierra Nevada and got selected anyway.
