What's more, this software fix depends on 1 out of 1 sensor inputs. There's no redundancy or conflict detection, if the pilot is flying the plane it uses the sensor on the left, if the copilot is flying the plane it uses the sensor on the right. This is a safety-critical system with absolutely no redundancy at all.
(Boeing would sell you a third AoA sensor and the AoA Disagree readout as an optional upgrade though! So it's not like they didn't think about it, they just didn't care enough to include it in the base spec.)
