So at 600 billion in orders they got greedy and didn't want to spend 1M extra per plane to make it safe.
But I guess Ethiopian/Indonesian cries for some sort of compensation/justice would have to go very viral in western media to force a corporation like Boeing into anything (since it is also a clear admission its purely their fault, which it seems to be).
With lots of of passengers on both flights being from lots of different countries, what they're getting instead is lots and lots and lots of individual lawsuits all being filed in different jurisdictions.
Which is, I'm guessing, likely to be more damaging to them in the long run.
MH370 was a multi-national class-action lawsuit filed in SC that was only dismissed because the circumstances of the disappearance were not clear and nothing to do with it being multi-national

With the Lion Air crash the settlements the Indonesian government had passengers sign included waiving any right to sue Boeing in the USA

The fault being with Boeing in this case seems a lot more clear-cut
