They're astronauts, they're loving this, they've said so in Interviews and it's pretty obvious they've not just been told to say that. That's not to mention that Starliner is a private spacecraft (just as much as Dragon is) and that's the only thing being discredited here.
I love a gym or a sauna but I’m not gonna love it after 20x my normal planned time has passed and I can’t leave.
Also: we’ve got NO idea what they REALLY think or feel privately, of COURSE they’d be forced to pretend it’s what they want in a public interview (I mean, cmon.)
I can guarantee you that all the landlocked astronauts are very jealous of them right now.
