That's easy: MCAS will not input multiple trim commands unless it is reset. Tugging on the manual trim wheel, successfully or not, won't do that. It is reset by the use of MET (among other possible conditions), which is why it was driving the trim repeatedly in both accident flights. With the cut-out, MET commands don't register, so MCAS is not reset and does not make further inputs.
