How are the points you have mentioned in your post relevant to the MCAS fault, which the article is supposed to be about?

It is explicitly mentioned in the article that the Indian companies DID NOT work on the faulty MCAS system - Boeing said the company did not rely on engineers from HCL and Cyient for the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, which has been linked to the Lion Air crash last October and the Ethiopian Airlines disaster in March. The Chicago-based planemaker also said it didn’t rely on either firm for another software issue disclosed after the crashes: a cockpit warning light that wasn’t working for most buyers.

This looks like a misleading article trying to shift blame away from Boeing management. Yes, there are problems with outsourcing, which the article brings up trying to show as reason for the problems with 737 Max.

You are missing the point. This information is necessary in making the decision to continue flying on Boeing 737 Max Airplanes.
