It's an interesting point - how come Airbus gets away with this exemption just because the stick is on the side, while Boeing are required to create perfectly progressive stick feedback force, all the way to the extremes of the envelope, and in trying to meet the requirement, create MCAS? Progressive pitch force is a major design headache, from single engine homebuilts, right through to airliners. Meanwhile there have been several Airbus incidents, arguably attributable to the lack of stick force feedback.
