737 Max had ~500K death-free trips before its first crash.

That sounds very wrong.
According to https://randy.newairplane.com/2018/05/22/737-max-a-year-of-s... the Max had only made 41k flights total in May 2018, six months before the first crash.

Yes, I think you are right, it is much lower than 500K, I misread the wiki page which stated it had 500K flights at the time groundings started and assumed there weren't a significant number of flights between the first crash and groundings.
My fleet sums to ~100k trips and zero (human) deaths. The 737MAX can't claim such a low number of deaths per trip.
Regardless, we can choose our metrics to paint whatever picture we want to paint and any metric we choose is of little use anyway because it's an apples to oranges comparison.
