This is why we have airworthiness certification, though. If you give full nosedown control authority to some system, that system needs to be redundant and have its failure probabilities modeled and accounted for, or the plane isn't fit to fly. Seems like the only way this "lack of criteria" can happen is when there's something very close to criminal negligence on Boeing's end and a regulator who either doesn't care or is being successfully lied to.
