That approach has its own problems, mainly in increased complexity (i.e. more things to go wrong) and limited benefits, once the design is understood as a whole. The T7 feedback relies on the same kind of sensors that are causing a problem here. Thus far there has not been a well-known incident where bad data caused problems for the feedback, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

For the record, the Airbus FBW design team was multi-national, not just French.
