The problem is all those other things are CALCULATED values off the AoA sensor.
Literally everything depends on a single tube which is known to get clogged with ice, bugs etc.
So for the 737 Max, a single clogged AoA sensor causes all these things immediately and simultaneously:
-- all your airspeed and altitude readouts go haywire, at least on one side of the cockpit
-- a bunch of alarms start going off and a bunch of lights start flashing, each indicating a different problem
-- your control stick starts shaking
-- a little-documented system immediately commands the nose straight down into the ground, and keeps commanding it until turned off (but turning it off effectively prevents you from counteracting the nose down command)
Good luck.
