You're completely ignoring that flying the 737 MAX without MCAS is not an automatic death sentence. Meanwhile a malfunctioning MCAS is actually an automatic death sentence.

The big flaws are in the software, not in the hardware. So stop focusing on that.

The qualifier of 'automatic' on death sentence is fun.

Would the software even be necessary if the airframe was better designed?
