I think this is a case where overregulation actually was part of the cause (aside from economic reasons to save certification and training of course).
If the rules for flight characteristics wouldn't have been as rigid, maybe the MCAS wouldn't have been a necessity, which could have resulted in a system not as aggressively trying to get control. As I understand it they build a more stable plane by moving the center of mass forward with the engines, it just pitched the nose upwards under acceleration.
Speculation of course, but I think this point should be audited.
