Huh. Even Boeing doesn't want to be associated with Boeing:

Boeing executives have repeatedly sought to make clear that the Starliner program operates independently from the company’s other units — including the commercial aircraft division that has been at the center of scandals for years.

Are they independent from the cancerous management though?

No, the spacecraft gets lumped in with the military business unit because the contracting structures are similar, and very different from how commercial aircraft development is financed.

The classic rebranding ala facebook -> meta / insta, or food companies with their thousands of differently named subsidiaries.
