According to the report they

Secondly it might have been what they
should have been doing per procedure, but the only other crew to experience MCAS
didn't turn back - and they (and their pax) are alive. Coincidence again, or causal?
Thirdly no 737 pilot should have been learning any procedure from Lion Air crash - no new procedures were created.
