Not really. The 777 has Fly-By-Wire controls with all the envelope protection and redundancies that comes with that. I.e. failing safely but step by step offering less protections to the pilot the more it fails, until you are down to the few essentially mechanical ways of controlling the aircraft. The only reason a 777 felt like 777 is because it was programmed to be one.
Compare this to the 737 MAX which still relies on mechanical linkages and two different flight computers with the pilot supposed to be the safety when they disagree, there any change introduces differences in the feeling and handling at the pilots hands.
Question Boeing's recent engineering and similar all you want, but this is completely different.
