Compare that to MCAS which appear to have none of these attributes.
From what I have seen MCAS is supposed to stop working when either the pilot moves the control column or trims in the opposite direction.
It is supposed to be disabled by simply flipping the stab trim cutout switches.
Happy to be corrected, but that sounds awfully similar to the stick pusher setup
