FWIW Airbus has tested a force-feedback side stick. Why they don't already offer it as an option I do not know. Maybe they are calmer now but for decades they took the attitude that "We built an un-crashable airplane because we are smarter than you" and took any criticism as a personal attack. If you're curious the 757, 767, 777, and 787 are all fly by wire but use both physical linkage under the deck and force-feedback servos to transmit control surface feel back to the pilots. But they also have torque tubes that can be overpowered and ... shocker... in a dual input situation they do the same as Airbus: average the inputs. But at least you have to really yank on the controls to make that happen.
