No: one can still be malicious without outright intendending to kill passengers.
Boeing had their very existence and dominance in the aerospace sector severely threatened by A320neo. They needed MAX to be a hit at all costs, and this impetus, combined with the bean counterism their culture was infected with after the McDonnell Douglas merger ensured that any internal obstacles that threatened the time table for MAX would get dealt with in the short term cheapest and minimally effective way possible.
This is gross negligence at a minimum, blatant malfeasance at worst.
