... and they can‘t because that would make the MCAS useless. MCAS is there to change the stick force at high AoA values. To maintain a high AoA at decreasing speed (w/o retrimming) you will need to pull pretty hard. That is exactly the situation where the trim inhibit switches are activated. If they would stop the MCAS it would never be activated in the desired part of the flight envelope.
