Suit yourself, but I’d rather fly on a plane that had problems found, scrutinized, and fixed rather than a plane that may or may not have problems but nobody actually knows because they weren’t pressured to look hard enough.
Re: other manufacturers, if the regulatory environment is one in which Boeing can get by with cutting corners, that means it’s an environment in which other manufacturers can cut corners as well. That, combined with the inherent characteristic of for-profit companies doing what they do, I have no reason to believe that Airbus et al are not doing the same. Hell, the first A320 was infamous for a software issue causing it to crash, too, complete with regulators and Airbus involved in controversy afterwards for trying to alter the results of the investigation.
