No, Faury is being very honest here.
Working in the industry, I know that when Boeing had the issues with the MAX, it made a whole lot of extra work at Airbus. This was/is due to the way the manufacturers interact with certification authorities, and levels of trust.
Suddenly the European certification authorities started much more in depth reviews and checks, and it required a LOT of work on all sides. Many processes were considerably tightened up.
Now, this is not necessarily bad, but it di have a lasting impact and certainly did make any innovation steps much much more expensive and slower.
