Do you think there's never any inefficiency in a system? It's possible they could lower cost but keep the same quality. There's an incentive to do that.

If you’re saying that Boeing currently incentivizes quality over cost, what evidence are you basing that on? There are lots of news articles on the development of the 787 and 737MAX showing Boeing only too willing to compromise on quality.

If you’re just speculating that it’s technically still possible, then how is that valuable discussion? As OP said, it’s also technically possible to crap gold. So what?

Are you saying that Boeing’s huge 737 Max mistakes and run our laden news articles mean that every management decision at Boeing reduces quality?

Perhaps the pilots union wanted $400k a year for each pilot, but their market value was only $200K a year?
