FWIW, the problem is not the seating capacity but the range. As each MAX in the series is larger, each one also has less range with the -10 being the shortest range of all.
The MAX-10 is presumably fine for domestic flights with long runways at sea level, but it can't replace the 757/767 across the Atlantic which would be a primary market for the NMA or a re-engined 767.
