None of which matters to Boeing as an entity. Market cap is not liquidity.

Outstanding Max order backlog is $600 billion at list price. That is what matters.

So at 600 billion in orders they got greedy and didn't want to spend 1M extra per plane to make it safe.

Which is still nothing compared to the increase in Boeing’s market cap since some three years ago.
