What are you basing this on?

For example a modern EICAS system is required today, and all modern passenger aircraft have one. Except the 737 Max.

The 737 Max 7 and 10 had to get a waiver due to not being certified in time by the hard requirement to have one when updating old types. Let alone certifying new types.

Instrumentation. Not airframe.

Boeing’s failure was in trying to make a great airframe compensate for failings in other systems.

It is a lackluster airframe but with an entire workforce certified to fly it and thus it is forced to stay around.

Just look at the anti-ice issues preventing 737 Max 7 and 10 to be certified.

Considering the low ground clearance is one of the major issues of the 737 today (which lead to the whole MAX disaster), you'd have to replace the landing gear, and with that you'd also need to make changes to the airframe itself.

Ignore everything that makes the 737 a modern passenger aircraft and it’s awesome!
