I mean, that's true of every plane. You pull back too much, it will stall.
It's not that the MAX stalls super easily, It's not an instability. It's just that the controls feel wrong when approaching stall. The FAA have pretty precise regulations about how much backpressure the pilots should feel when approaching stall.
In normal flight, the plane is never anywhere near stalling, so MCAS never activates. Nor do the pilots encounter this weird stall.
The combined chances of both MCAS being disabled AND the pilot not recognizing the stall is pretty low.
But this is why the simulator training is important, so the pilots are familiar with the new feel as the plane approaches stall.
