Well there were some high profile problems with the latest iteration of the 737, problems that are actually Boeing’s fault and should be their responsibility to fix.

After that though, any problem with any Boeing aircraft becomes juice news-cycle bait, even if the root of the problem was actually, hypothetically, that Southwest Airlines is cheap as fuck and their underfunded under-fucks-given maintenance crew fucked something up and didn’t properly secure an engine cover. All the news outlets will care about was “Problem with another Boeing plane!”
