not likely the NG didn't add new systems. not saying other cost-cutting won't be exposed but nothing as egregious as MCAS.

the MAX added new engines, which required forward placement on the wings, which changed COG, which necessitated MCAS.

They changed flight control computers from Honeywell to Collins when going from the 737 to the 737 NG. Seems like a new system.

Right, but the recent change was from the 737 NG to the 737 MAX.
