Actually the crew who survived (two men plus one) clearly reported that the [unknown MCAS] failure did not look like a runaway trim.
The Boeing idea of resorting to the runaway procedure is obviously from non-pilot engineers or executives with no knowledge of their own systems.
The considerable delay and test flight time it took them to discover how the system works and how to - not yet - fix it is an indication of the complication of the matter, and the negligence of Boeing and the FAA
