Well according to your post, it seems like Boeing actually did spend money.... to conduct years of experimenting.

In reality, the MAX had many aerodynamic improvements, including split-tip winglets, airframe modifications and re-engining.

The term ‘Frankenstein’ is not helpful here & does not progress the discussion forward.
