So you want to put all the blame on the manufacturer and/or regulators?
Stabilizer Trim is a fraction of the above equation and even the previous crew (and perhaps the two crews before?) dispatched that problem posthaste.
What makes you think this crew would have run the "MCAS Runaway Checklist" had one existed?
THIS IS textbook Runaway Stabilizer (for which there IS a checklist) by any definition and it was NOT addressed
AFAIK at this time.
I hope I'm wrong but it's not looking that way ATM.
Fly the plane. That's what
professional pilots do IMHO.
