That effectively Boeing has put tg blame on to two pilots who failed to reportcertain things to the FAA?

As usual, buck passing the blame to minions and neglecting to mention who instructed the minions is common place now. What would you call it, the Volkswagen gambit? Althoughthe gambit is far older than that.

Allowing Boeing to buy off the issue sets a precedent for them that they are too big to fail and that they can throw money at failures to avoid genuine punishment for transgressions.

Money they are almost guaranteed to recover in government contracts that help them to keep America ahead in commercial and other aviation.
