I've heard of conspiracy theories, but thinking that Boeing and the FAA have allowed the 787 to be certified with a non-compliant fuel system operation is going a bit far. And what about EASA? Plenty of European operators of 787s; EASA must agree it's compliant. "A320/737 does this" is totally irrelevant.

No exemption or deviation in the EASA type certificate for shared fuel:
EASA 787-8 TC

The FAR/CS 25 doesn\x92t seem to require fuel from separate tanks during takeoff.
