An enthusiastic Boeing instructor once took me to 35,000 ft in the simulator at the end of a training session then reached up to the overhead panel and turned everything off.
The aircraft still flew.
Dont think they do much of that stuff anymore.
I hear what you’re saying George, and I concur 100%. Except for one apparent wild card...

MCAS!
