Why are these planes still allowed to fly?

Indeed, these should very obviously be grounded given that there are literally weekly disasters happening. At some point people are going to die.

There have been, what? Two 737 MAX fatal crashes with hundreds killed? I think "at some point" already happened back in 2018.
