my experience with it that their space operations are hopelessly enmired in NASA CYA paperwork and needless oversight. They’d do better out of that until NASA goes by the wayside, IMO.

Not a big deal. Government pays for that doubling in costs, so really, Boeing should make more money off of that, not less. Unless they screwed up BoEs and their overall contract, then sure. But almost all of that extra effort to meet gov't paperwork is a pass-through cost to the contract.
