I don't think anyone believes that Boeing is intentionally crashing airplanes. OTOH, the implementation of MCAS (and its apparent increase in authority, late in the game), and the failure to document it or even to tell airlines and crews about it, were certainly intentional acts. And the fairly-obvious intent was to get the MAX flying without making the customers bear the cost burden of significant training.
It will probably be quite safe to fly the MAX aircraft again, once it's released -- especially because that's not likely to happen without a deep dive into the circumstances and decisions that led to the current situation and until the FAA, the DOT inspector general, the FBI and the relevant federal grand jury, international regulators and the airlines all sign off. And until pax are willing to board, of course.
