This is kind of a survivorship bias kind of thing (with the WW2 bombers): NOT getting the news is the actual indicator of lack of quality control. Getting reports of them finding things is an indicator they’re actually looking. We know they had problems due to the whole, you know, planes falling out of the sky.
Of course it’s not black and white, what’s in the news isn’t really the important thing either way. It’s just what we can see.

Not to mention… didn’t Boeing also help with the Ospreys? Those things are known for eating Marines throughout its development cycle. Gotta wonder if this complete lack of engineering may be a reason.
