This is more on the airline not doing their maintenance
Where does it say that the airline didn't send the plane for maintenance?
Airlines don't do their own maintenance, they send them back to Boeing.
A plane isn't like a car, you don't just have a go at changing the oil or fixing the brakes yourself and then hope for the best, you send it to the approved place when scheduled or you don't fly.
This is not true at all. You're right that planes aren't like cars, but airlines absolutely do their own maintenance. The maintenance program is initially provided by Boeing and modified by the airline based on statistical monitoring of issues.
