I don't think Dragon has spare seats[1][2]. So sure, if one of the Starliner astronauts develops a medical emergency, they might be able to take Dragon on a ride down. But that leaves two other astronauts that has to ride down Starliner. That said, yes I agree that the headline is slanted somewhat more anti-boeing than the public knowledge supports. Yes, the delay has been long and not a great look, but double and triple checking an experimental spacecraft with some _probably small_ (taking the article as gospel here) is a very sound course of action if you don't have somewhere you need to be.
