MCAS only exists as a bandaid to a terrible idea. They should've built a new aircraft, not strap bigger engines into a 40ish year old frame. If MCAS _actually_ worked, you and I wouldn't even know about it. But as tribute to how poorly it was designed and delivered, we know about MCAS because it killed over 300 people. Just an absurd point you're making. Airbus are an engineering firm, so they are doing clever engineering things. Boeing was an engineering firm that has been run by bean counters the past few decades. It wasn't "opposition to automation" it was opposition to innovation for the sake of short term profit. Boeing's executives should all be hanged :) hundreds of people dead for no reason whatsoever.
