The interesting thing is that this didn't have anything to do with the quality of the plane at all - they were working on the simulator, and their messages were about how they wouldn't trust their family on planes trained using that simulator. As far as I know, the simulator in question was never used since the whole point of the whole mess was to ensure pilots trained on the existing 737 were allowed to fly the Max without any extra simulator training.

Largely the same as your point, but takes into account that Boeing's success was being predicated on no one looking at the MAX too hard for too long.
