This will take an examination of culture at Boeing, particularly before and after 1997 to see the changes. Diane Vaughan examined NASA after the Challenger accident and issued "The Challenger Launch Decision: High Risk Technology, Culture and Deviance at NASA" in 1997, (revised 2016). The examination led to changes but not before Columbia was lost. I believe there is something similar here. Hopefully there is someone with the capacity, time and energy to do so because the question does at least need asking with regard to both organizations, (FAA & Boeing themselves, and also the relationship between the two).
