Either it’s a different sensor, new with the MAX, or this could one of the universes rarest conincidences. Or the crash is unrelated.

Bird strike or ramp rash or software error are three most obvious- the point is to alllow a SINGLE sensor to directly override pilot input and not be documented that it even exists is as close to criminal as one can imagine. MTBF makes no diff- And BA knows how to make a comparison for example 787
