I always wondered why Boeing did not fit one to the 737MAX.
As the MAX was based on "old type" 737 certification, the addition of a stick nudger/pusher probably would have resulted in a "new type" certificate, which was why the MAX was meant to be a "common type rating" such as the B747-8 vs B747-400.
