I disagree that's a valid comparison. If the terrorists were able to remotely override Boeing's autopilot from the ground, and use that to steer the planes into the towers, Boeing would absolutely have been blamed, and rightly so.

Nobody blamed Boeing for not putting locks on their cockpit doors.

The public actually doesn't generally place much blame on manufacturers of hardware for third party manipulation unless the point of the device is security. Nobody expects a car is invulnerable to sabotage.

You could blame Boeing for not taking control of the planes from the ground and prevent the terrorists steering them into the towers.
