You fly attitude and power not AoA.
So we agree AoA is not necessary but my question to you remains. How do you fly attitude in a loss of pitch control situation? Just wait for the pitch control to return on its own?
You don't understand the severity nor scope of the Max crisis. Ironically your strategy is exactly what the crews did, simply tried to fly an attitude. It didn't work.
