From above:

However, his departure does not seem to be directly related
to his work on Crew Dragon. Rather it seems to stem from the
recent process during which NASA selected three bids?led by
Blue Origin, Dynetics, and SpaceX?from among five bidders.
In an email to the human exploration staff at NASA on
Tuesday, Loverro admitted that he made a mistake earlier
this year.

"Our mission is certainly not easy, nor for the faint of
heart, and risk-taking is part of the job description,"
Loverro wrote. "The risks we take, whether technical,
political, or personal, all have potential consequences if
we judge them incorrectly. I took such a risk earlier in
the year because I judged it necessary to fulfill our
mission. Now, over the balance of time, it is clear that I
made a mistake in that choice for which I alone must bear
the consequences. And therefore, it is with a very, very
heavy heart that I write to you today to let you know that
I have resigned from NASA effective May 18th, 2020."

I smell Boeing.
