AFAIK the case against Boeing is still open. Arguably Airbus is getting direct subsidies (WTO ruling) while Boeing seems to get pampered by overpriced defense contracts which has the same result more or less (no WTO ruling yet). Conclusion is nobody is innocent, just guilty in different ways.

Imagine if Airbus was not there, there would be no safe plane to do short-haul.

Nonsense. Plenty of 717, non-Max 737, MD-88, MD-90, and E170/175/190/195 out there.

True, didn't check but I think the case against Boeing brought foward by the EU is still open. Not sure if memory serves well.
