Planed obsolescence.
I mean, there are other not Boeing brands that haven't had nearly the same widespread engineering issues as of late (Airbus comes to mind). That said, it doesn't matter since I'm not usually flying anywhere anyway because it just costs too much these days to travel.
Ok but it doesn't matter if they're overengineered due to regulations if they're ignoring the regulations...
