There is also another issue that may be at play (I don’t have any FDR plots for the mentioned accidents to hand so supposition only) - once pointing at the ground and seeing the IAS winding up the instinctive response is to bring the thrust levers to idle. In an aircraft already out of trim nose down with high pitch up force from the engines, the aggravation of the out of trim condition by removing the thrust could be what rendered the aircraft uncontrollable.
