Nah we've had astronauts in space much longer than they were. This is something different.

The only thing I can think of is some issue with differences or incompatibilities between the Starliner suits and the Dragon capsule that either weren't accounted for or more likely had no alternative given the situation.

Astronaut suits are custom made for each individual, and each manufacturer has their own system. They accomplish the same task, but in slightly different ways.

The Starliner crew is still on the ISS. They return with crew-9 in February.

Huh, wonder why I thought they came back already on a Dragon.

Because it's ridiculous that they've been stranded for so long!
