I wonder if Boeing will cancel starliner since they already lost 1B+ and won't have a chance to earn on it for a while

And if Boeing wants to ever recover a chance on major NASA contracts, they can't let NASA down on this. Unless the want to just leave the space business.
NASA has been trying to cancel SLS for a decade. It’s nicknamed the Senate Launch System for a reason.
The reality is that large parts of NASA are extremely supportive of SLS. We know from reporting that this is true. It was NASA Johnson engineers who pushed the design. No NASA Administrator has ever dared to even question the SLS or publicly speak in criticism at best the have lightly pushed for solutions around SLS.
