Not really sure how I feel about these last two articles. The main contention seems to be Boeing should be faulted for not dragging the 737 fully into the 21st Century by incorporating systems such as synthetic airspeed and EICAS. Setting aside the problems with MCAS for a moment, it is likely that the MAX would never have been built if such a major overhaul of its avionics, sensors, and alerting package was required. Admittedly, one of the challenges of operating the 737 is that it always has a foot firmly planted in the past, but the 737NG's enviable safety record (very comparable to the A320 family) does not seem to flag this as a problem.
