> Can you imagine anyone taking delivery of a newly built 737 in 10 years?

..yes? Companies are still placing orders, despite knowing how long the backlog is. I also expect the 737s will still be sold in 20+ years time, much less 7-10.

747s were in commercial production for 54 years (1970 to 2023).
For the last 15 years of 747 production the production rate was fewer than three per month and sometimes zero.
