Why ouch?
Because:
Alaska Airlines CEO: We found 'many' loose bolts on Boeing 737 Max 9 planes
"I'm angry," Ben Minicucci said. "This happened to Alaska Airlines. It happened to our guests and happened to our people."
It is not, really NOT good for Boeing. Even if all this is all posturing to renegotiate deals, it will hurt Boeing big time.
That is, if nothing else happen. They are in DC10 territory around 1978.
Next trip will remember to bring a wrench!

I just took a Max and forgot to check …
Oh well, was in seat 1D and saw them shut that door LoL …
OTOH, those who have 737s on order really don't have any options. Airbus single aisles are sold out for the rest of the decade and Airbus probably can't significantly ramp production since all of its many suppliers would have to go along with that, which spells Airbus entering into contractual obligations it is probably rightly reluctant to make.
Still, Boeing needs to get its act together pronto.
This latest debacle that can only be laid at the door of Boeing will ensure to further delay the type certification of the Max 7 and 10 as well as the 777X.
After all of the water that's passed under the bridge, what regulatory authority would trust Boeing?

What you wrote is 100% correct.
They are one accident away from VERY serious situation.
If nothing happens, and they decide to bring house in order, it will take them a decade. To regain image “if it is nit Boeing I am not going,” several decades.
