I think actually it may be related to this:

Maybe they only applied as much electric trim as needed to bring it close to the green band, that starts at 2.5 on the MAX. The stick shaker suggesting they are close to a stall might have made them reluctant to use more.

I don't think there was anything preventing them to apply more nose up trim if they wanted to, until they used the cutout switches.
