It's like a cruise line doesn't have to build ships that can hold crews for longer period of time and against potential threats, along with carrying everything it needs in terms of food and supplies and weapons.

I didn't say commercial companies can't make military vehicles, I just said companies that focus solely on commercial equipment have experience in making commercial equipment and you don't want them making something they're not experts in And besides, Boeing making both types of aircraft is more exception than rule Oops STX France makes military ships too.
