Can someone explain to me why they just give up on this frankenjet and build off the safer (at the moment) 777?

Talk out my ass here, but I thought it was due to the economics. Companies only want to buy the 737s because it's a fairly known factor. Pilots don't need to be retrained and, at this point, can be produced cheaper and/or faster.
