The issues are tied to design, part manufacturers and sub contractors. Boeing is largely just the assembler of the aircraft who puts their name on the aggregation of sourced parts.
1) Boeing designed the part
2) Boeing is responsible for choosing and getting its suppliers
3) In this particular case the part was assembled incorrectly by Boeing at a Boeing plant.

Understood, the point being made was that Boeing doesn’t “manufacture” the planes in the truest sense of the word. There was no intent to insinuate that Boeing has no responsibility for their product.

Surprisingly that is not the case for Boeing anymore. The first issue they had with the MAX crashes was a software issue and they didn't write the software themselves, they outsourced it to and Indian company.
Look at the 787 most of the part were designed and built by foreign companies. The 787 is probably more a Japanese airplane than an American one.
