The grandfathering creates the dilemma. Not the best technology but only the maximum level of new stuff permitted is installed to keep the old certification base. You end up with strange combinations of new and old features. Add forward mounted very powerful engines and this is what happens. The MAX will be okay now and integrated FBW aircraft will make future modifications much easier.
