MAX is not a 21st Century aircraft

You mistake the B737 MAX for a 21st Century aircraft.
The MAX is a aircraft grandfathered to 1960s standards, which Boeing intend to continue to manufacture until the mid- to late-2020s, and expect to still be flying in very large numbers in the 2040s

Whether or not that is a good idea is an entirely different question
