They cost themselves billions and people died because they went cheap with the original design, not from listening to what their customers wanted. Giving up 8-10 years of sales to Airbus while they got a clean sheet design into production would have also had a long term impact on their finances.
They still would have booked and sold several 737 NGs during that time to the customers who needed planes immediately. It's not like they would have made $0 in sales over 8-10 years.

I don't see a problem with a regional jet that takes more runway than a 767, especially as EMAS becomes more common.
