Boeing made mistakes, but expecting them or any aircraft manufacturer to be perfect is unrealistic. The airplanes are not perfect, and never will be. The pilots are there for a reason. Over-reliance on automation will lead to more accidents. The pilots must monitor the systems and take over when problems arise. That’s what they are there for.

Once again, too much reliance on computers and not enough manual flying including throttles causing another fatal accident.
There will be more of it to come, not to mention autonomous a/c in the near future.
Will the engineers who signed-off on the design of MCAS be dismissed?
What I find interesting is that in 2009 the investigators trusted Boeing and the NTSB, almost implicitly.
