Why, why, does the speed brake does NOT "stow" when thrust levers advance? Because both conditions does not make sense!

AFAIR Airbus' speed brakes don't retract either. Instead it gives you and ECAM alert.
Why don't they? No idea. We'd have to be back to the later 1970's or early 1980's to ask why it was designed and certified that way. Perhaps it was "one step too far" for the parties involved in transitioning to the modern glass cockpits? Now we accept glass cockpits but there were significant trainings issues training pilots coming off of 'round dial gauges' to 'glass' /FMC cockpits.
