Boeing did most of the construction of ISS and is the prime contractor supporting its operation. Certainly their Starliner performance casts doubt on their current ability to deliver but they at least have relevant know-how on space stations.

They have 2 gigantic space programs, Starliner and SLS. Both among the worst projects in the last decade.

Their experience from ISS is decades ago.

That's fair. I did skip over them, and they have proven ability in several areas.
