The key technical reason is this one: "While multiple factors led to these accidents, both crashes shared a key contributing factor: a new software system called the
Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), which Boeing developed to address
stability issues in certain flight conditions induced by the plane’s new, larger engines, and their
relative placement on the 737 MAX aircraft compared to the engines’ placement on the 737 NG."
