The MAX is not an NG.
The alleged inexperienced pilots
seem to be using natural instinct, first by pulling back on the elevators and the secondary (delayed) action was to use the trim switch to lighten that load.
In the NG, if you pull back on the control column (elevators) the switches at the base of the column cut the power to the trim motor - a safety feature!
In the MAX this feature was silently disabled so MCAS could work.
The NG does not require MCAS.
A very small change can have a very big impact - remove the H from H2O for example.
