I also haven't bought one.
This shows that there must be actual problems with their aircraft though because airlines are not going to care about public attitude, due to the company's politics. But if they are genuinely unsafe vehicles or have the potential to be unsafe vehicles, then they'll stay away.
If public attitude ever got significant enough that they couldn't fill a certain model of plane they would definitely stop buying them, that said I'm not sure we're at that point.
Every person I know who has flown in the last six months has inquired about the manufacturer of their plane before boarding
I think the nail in the coffin will be the amount someone is willing to pay to not ride on one of those planes. And we're talking money and time.
Flight booking websites literally added these plane models so you could filter out specific planes to avoid those flights because of these stories.
