All three of the incidents referenced in the lede were United Airlines flights, and to my uninformed eyes seem just as likely to be maintenance issues as manufacturing ones. Boeing is in the title because it understandably gets a lot of clicks lately, but in this case I wouldn't be surprised if these are a sign of bad maintenance on United planes.
If Boeing releases maintenance guidelines for a framistat, United Airlines will work towards those numbers. UA wouldn't double Boeing's framistat-related downtime guidelines without a really good reason, and this might lead to bad results if Boeing is wrong.
I'm not suggesting this wasn't UA's fault, I'm saying the nature of fault is complicated and currently unidentified.
Right, which is pretty much all I'm saying as well.
Because of how messed up Boeing is right now the initial reaction from casual observers is usually to blame Boeing, which may not actually be fair in this case.

If I recall correctly, United only flies Boeings, so any United issues will also appear as Boeing issues.
But these (so far) seem unrelated and would be unreported if it weren't for all the excitement around Boeings.
See this report about something similar but for Airbus, released by a notoriously harsh Airbus commentator: https://safetyfirst.airbus.com/landing-with-nosewheels-at-90...
