The continuation war from Boeing and Airbus?

So, honestly, is this a retaliation from Boeing?
By the way, this issue on Airbus planes will be solved with a software update

Unless the sun is a Boeing product, or is somehow run or maintained by Boeing - no, this is an unforseen issue that struck Airbus, and that Airbus clearly communicated over.
Unlike some other constructors whose communication is usually as clear as mud when issues arise.

The planes aren't even grounded. The directive says they need to fix it by midnight tonight and if not, cannot fly until it is.
Considering most will have fixed them overnight, nothing is grounded

Why would it be a retaliation? Didn't Airbus itself identify the problem and make it public?

Leave it to Reddit to somehow make a natural phenomenon affecting a bit of computer hardware in an rare event still Boeing's fault 😂

News makes it more than it is,
Most of these Airbus A320s A321 will have the software fix by tomorrow and 90+% by tomorrow night.
Don't believe the hype.

This has nothing to do with Boeing. It's an EASA directive. I'm glad that EASA is doing its job.
Boeing also has no reason to retaliate against Airbus or to wish any harm to Airbus. The two firms need each other. They are locked in a de facto duopoly that guarantees them both as many sales as they can possibly deliver, with comfortable margins, and together they can keep competition at bay.
