At least this one is going to be hard to blame on Boeing, although I am sure the media morons will try 🙄
The cowling (nacelle) design is responsibility of the aircraft manufacturer, not the engine company. (Correction: I looked up in the book of an Airbus engineer again, it states the
inlet is the task of the airframe manufacturer)
It's not clear if it was a handling/maintenance issue in this case here.
There was a weakness in design on Fan Bladeout Event, detected on the mortal FBO accident some years ago, but this didn't play a role here.
