Boeing is a strategic asset for the US government, of course they're going to survive.

Boeing make a bunch of military aircraft, drones and missiles [1]. The US government might want to buy those in the future, so wants Boeing to stay in business.

Hence, the government is unlikely to deal Boeing a killing blow.

Even when it comes to commercial aviation, the US wouldn't want to depend exclusively on foreign designed airplanes where they have far less influence.
