Because people are made aware that Boeing wasn’t serious with engineering since 2012. And the FAA paid Boeing consultants to inspect Boeing, which by all layman’s definition fall under the terms of “corrupted”.

Who wouldn’t pay attention to the little mention in Google Flights with the brand of the plane?

In my experience this is pretty normal for specialized stuff like this, it has nothing to do with corruption.

It's this way in my industry as well, it's really hard to find people who have not worked for one of the big two vendors in my field.

I think you grossly overestimate the general public, and their ability to pay attention, or care. The 737MAX isnt the first aircraft to have an issue like this - and they kept flying them.
