Maybe space stations should have lifeboats. Ocean liners must have them, why not the ISS?

They functionally do, at almost all points in time there are enough capsules docked to the station for all astronauts to be able to return to Earth. The starliner capsule is currently able to return if needed, they are having it stay up there a bit longer to check things out now and make sure that it’s fully safe and usable.
