I would be very hesitant to get on a MAX, but we take unnecessary risks all the time. Getting in a car, having a beer, etc. are all activities that carry risk.

I would be very hesitant to get on a MAX, but we take unnecessary risks all the time. Getting in a car, having a beer, etc. are all activities that carry risk. Ultimately it's "will the hassle of avoiding the MAX be worth the benefit of not getting on one?" and for a lot (probably the vast majority) of people the answer is no.

Of course we take risks, but every rational human being does so in accordance to receiving some perceived value, reward, or return out of it. As it stands right now, there is literally no reason to take a MAX flight, unless you just absolutely had to get somewhere and it was the only flight available to you (unlikely). One potential case I could see is the price of MAX flights drop low enough so that price conscious consumers decide the risk is now warranted. But that hasn't happened yet. Thus, no reason to take the unnecessary risk at this time. Future factors may change this equation.
