> The whole meme that companies exist to maximize shareholder value is just that: a meme, and a recent one at that. Boeing is the natural outcome of believing it like a zealot.

Admittedly I've only been in the workforce for a couple decades, but isn't this precisely what large, or at a minimum publicly traded, companies operate on?

I've worked for multiple public companies and this is a universal theme among any I've worked with or for. Legally they're even required to do what is best for shareholders, nothing more.
