Don't anyone wish one certain crew not that long ago robotically applied the unreliable speed drill after takeoff, once their AoA packed up?

If it can be described as a procedure then it better be prescribed as a procedure, drill-trained and audited as a procedure. I really do see how unusual that may look to a common aviator's naked eye, but public mass transport with its worldwide size requires not to depend on individuals' "natural common sense reaction". That is not wishful thinking but rather the lessons learned.

Speed-brake / spoilers drill examples:

Not to mention the stall ones:
