Not to say that you're wrong, that may well have been the thinking. But the objections to that rationale is that the MCAS does something pretty different than the STS (almost opposite) for different reasons and in a very different flight regime ,so saying that "it's just the same "system"" is a weak reason for not disclosing it.
