There must be some confusion here.
Most of us have watched Mentour's videos at the time, and IIRC he did not replicate an MCAS incident, but a runaway trim situation.
His demonstration did show how difficult it was to keep control of an out of trim 737, and that manually retrimming after throwing the pedestal switches was virtually impossible.
If you have seen the video, you may remember that it took them much more than the infamous 3 seconds to identify the runaway and run the procedure, and all without any alarm, altitude issue or other distraction.
You may also remember that he asked his partner to "press the red button" and end the demo before the inevitable outcome.
