Why was Boeing's 737 Chief Technical Pilot so busy selling product and not wholly focused on the technical development of a new aeroplane?

Thanks..
1) "keep the cost down" (always the real number 1 objective of a short term profit driven company, hence the need for strong government oversight)

2) Apparently B has design pilots and technical pilots, the technical pilots are working on getting the sims correct and working with the customers, so that could be valid....
