Basically, I’d assume this to be more of a maintenance issue rather than an actual Boeing issue.

Rather than think this is completely related, shouldn't it instead raise concerns about Boeings maintenance procedures? Extrapolating on their exposed carelessness during engineering and production i don't see it as much of a stretch to say they aren't maintaining their planes properly either.

I'm thinking twice before i fly boeing, period.

As you say, if boeing is getting away with shit maintenance then maybe all companies are and like someone above said, i shouldn't fly at all.

Boeing does not maintain their planes after they sell them. That is on the customer.

They are, however, maintained to Boeing's specified intervals.

This just isn't true. Part 121 operators develop and manage their own maintenance plans. That is done in conjunction with Boeing and the FAA but their maintenance plans may very well deviate from Boeings prescribed service and intervals per their standard maintenance manual.
