To be fair, Boeing is developing a new capsule, while SpaceX is making Dragon 2, drawing on the legacy of Dragon 1, which they were awarded at least $1B for.

I wonder how much further along SpaceX might be if they were able to ripoff NASA and the federal government the same way Boeing is able to.

As if Boeing of all companies doesn't have any experience whatsoever working on crewed capsules?

On the bright side, they can ask for more now.
