You are not guaranteed to fly on the model of airplane stated when you buy the ticket. This guarantee would be highly impractical because the airline would only have a limited ability to supply a replacement plane when the scheduled one is unavailable. So if push comes to shove, airlines will stop telling you what model of airplane they plan to use at all.

And we – those of us concerned and those who like voting with our feet – will stop using airlines with 737 max aircrafts in their fleet.

Considering how many airlines have max in their fleet it's not a viable tactic
