There have been plenty of other cases of commercial airline instrument failures leading to unexpected system responses and confusion among the crew. You just don’t hear about them because these events had a successful conclusion.

That's a diversionary response. This was not just a case of "unexpected system responses". MCAS commandeered the most powerful control surface on the airplane and, in effect, caused an intermittent runaway, something for which nobody was trained.
