Boeing was really innovative in the 50s thru 70s. Dominated American aviation by the 80s. Became a monopoly (essentially) for domestic plane production in the USA. Have not innovated or changed much since.
The 737 Max was one of their biggest innovations in the last 30 years and they didnt even have the fancy new tech use both speed/airflow sensors, it only used one at a time. If they had used both tube sensors at least one of the crashes could have been prevented. Dumbass company also didn't train pilots on the new software because that'd cost too much. Plus they were sure it would be flawless so they didnt need to train. Basically they are the Google of aviation and are nosediving in quality just like the worlds biggest advertising company is now.
Is the 737 max really an innovation? They just wanted to spare airlines the cost of certifying pilots on a new airframe. The Max is a 737 with bigger engines, but because it comes from a time before sky bridges were common and disembarking directly onto tarmac was, it sits too low to the ground for them, so the whole center of mass was thrown off by moving the engine mounts up and back. Just a bad compromise plane

I do agree that innovation is a bad term for it. It was a modernization that was poorly developed to make as much money as possible.
