Boeing was good at finding cheaper solutions to business problems as well. In the end it's society that suffers for our tolerance of late stage capitalism.

There is no "right" answer to this. But tolerating crappy engineering because it's cost effective seems like an admission of defeat to people that actually want to make things better. It's not so much letting perfect be the enemy of good enough; it's more about the steady decline in quality because that's what we incentivize.
