I'm not about to give much credence to anybody suggesting a cause unless equal arguments include previously identified corrective actions being missing
See thread:
Boeing 737 Max Software Fixes Due to Lion Air Crash Delayed
Thus Boeing hasn't implemented any fixes of the MCAS problem yet. While many airlines probably did some additional pilot instruction and other pilots learned of the problem in places like PPRUNE, many other pilots probably didn't.

And of course even if a pilot was informed of something doesn't mean he will remember it in a critical situation.
