The safety reviews were ordered in November 2018 [1]. The 737 MAX groundings started in March 2019 [2].

The 737 MAX fiasco is irrelevant to this series of safety reviews, but as the OP article states, Boeing may be subject to future reviews triggered by its own actions.

That's why I said, "in the future". Apologies if my thesis wasn't clear.

Sorry, I missed that. My point stands though: I don't think the 737 MAX fiasco sheds much light on NASA's decision-making in this case.
