But when Boeing moved out of Seattle, they also began shifting the focus of their business away from aircraft and toward aircraft accessories, e.g., internet devices for airplanes. They seem to be abandoning the commercial aircraft field to Airbus et al.

Perhaps you could share with us some business journal story that documents this.

Otherwise, it seems you're just making stuff up, especially given the new Supersonic Cruiser Boeing just announced.

...it seems you're just making stuff up...

I don't have the source handy, but it was announced in the press conference when when Boeing moved to Chicago. Their new plane will not be "supersonic" as you suggest, but will fly close to the speed of sound. It is intended for a small payload of rich passengers. Boeing seems to be abandoning the mass air transit field to Airbus. If you were following this story, which I doubt, you would know that Boeing made a strategic decision not to make a larger plane, but to make a smaller faster, "elite" one.
