This is correct (I'm not aware of what AA has along these lines).
Practically speaking I don't think anyone other than QX could do it.

MEA seriously reminds me of this cartoon.Several months after being freed from Alaska Airlines internment camp, I can confirm that the grass is greener at other airlines. Update those apps and escape the sinking ship- especially the bus guys and gals.

Semantics aside and to your point, nobody is really ordering it. It’s a tiny fraction of the total Max orders, and most have been deferred/delayed. The economics of it just aren’t that great. But I suppose if someone is proudly all Boeing and can’t fill a Max 8 on some routes and the incremental lower operating costs of a Max 7 make it work, maybe it would happen. Unless scope isn’t addressed and horizon flies some 190/195s instead.

It’s a job. Move, commute, or quit. None of those options exist for those in history who were forced into internment camps.

My point, we already have a 124pax airplane. Single fleet can be done very well with a Max 7,8,9,10... all of which AS is exploring. (120 pax to 190pax)
Obviously the bigger the jet the lower the CSM, the greater the available RASM... this is a RASM and CSM airline. We don’t need the Bus for the lower end.
