It's mostly correct, but even before McDonnell Douglas in the early 90's Boeing actually had repeat issues of 737 rudders reversing direction in flight, causing accidents. Their response was exactly the same as the MAX8 crashes, cover it up and blame the pilots. It even sounds to me like they tampered with evidence according to Admiral Cloudberg's telling of it: https://imgur.com/a/5wcFx8M
I certainly still agree things got MUCH worse after the merger though
