The fact that full power was left selected after takeoff doesn't seem to ba a noticeable comment on theses pages.
Surely the Flight Crews error in leaving TOGA Power set throughout the entire flight until it made a hole in the ground, dwarfs any MCAS part in the accident.
A lightly loaded B737 aircraft, as was ET (destination NBO) at takeoff, would soon break Flap and IAS Limits, and soon lead to a very high work load situation before MCAS was activated by flap retraction.
I am not dismissing the MCAS design problems, and erroneous stick shaker activation, but a lack of old fashioned Airmanship started train of events.
