Isn't one of the other options a company that left 2 people in space?

It's almost like corps are in favor of profit over people.

In Boeing's case, they appear to be neither for people nor profit.

Only by trump and musk. The astronaut's statements are all over the place:

Did politics influence NASA's decision for you to stay longer in space?

Wilmore: From my standpoint, politics is not playing into this at all. From our standpoint, I think that they would agree, we came up prepared to stay long, even though we plan to stay short. That's what we do in human spaceflight. That's what your nation's human space flight program is all about, planning for unknown, unexpected contingencies. And we did that, and that's why we flowed right into Crew 9, into Expedition 72 as we did. And it was somewhat of a seamless transition, because we had planned ahead for it, and we were prepared.

Elon Musk said he made an offer to bring Butch and Suni home last year, but it was denied by the White House. Is this true?

Wilmore: I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual. We have no information on that, though, whatsoever; what was offered, what was not offered; who it was offered to, how that process went. That's information that we simply don't have. So I believe him. I don't know all those details, and I don't think any of us really can give you the answer that maybe that you would be hoping for.

One of astronauts said they dont think its politized at all, that just how things are. Then seconds later said Musk saying it was politcal is absolutely correct, but also they had no information at all proving that.
