Telling pilots that when they fly a Boeing, they are always in control and have the last say has been part of Boeing's narrative against Airbus for as long as I can remember. This might have contributed to their reluctance to talk about adding flight envelope protection features and hiding that even when pilots are "manually" flying, the flight control computers can kick in. Seems like a reminder that "reality must take precedence over public relations".
