Maybe for the same reasons some US crews - duly briefed in advance - failed to recover in the sim ?
To date we still have to hear from someone having actually run the MCAS scenario in the sim and stating that it was no big deal and they had no difficulties managing the situation.
Maybe there is more to it than just running this one particular memory item at one unspecified moment ?
Even Boeing has admitted that the checklists and memory items they advocated weren't adequate and need reworking, so why continue to spread that "just do the trim runaway" fallacy ?
