If this was the first incident with the Max, I’d agree with you.
But repeated issues close together have caused regulators amd the general public to look closer at Boeing as a whole; particularly their inspection, certification, and maintenance practices. I don’t think this will go away easily.
I’m starting to see content like this often:

yes… this does not seem a problem with Max, but one with Boeing. The US passengers don’t really have an option to choose Airbus when most of the airlines’ fleet in the US is Boeing.
We can hope so.
Multiple airlines in the US already have majority Airbus fleets. It’s not quite as hard to avoid as you might think
Delta is primarily an Airbus fleet. They do not currently fly any 737 MAX planes, though they have ordered 100 Max 10s for delivery starting in 2025.
I’ll assume they’re being pressured into it by the significant fuel savings the max offers over their current fleet.
Or, if are willing to fly any of the big 3’s regional brands it’ll be on a regional jet which Boeing doesn’t make. Generally those are made by Bombardier or less commonly Embraer. Though, bigger plane means smoother flight.
Perhaps to replace existing 737s. But the Airbus A320neo has similar fuel efficiency with high bypass turbofans.
