It still comes down to an automation in a primary flight control which operates silently and uses only a single data source. Even Boeing know that's not the right way to design aeroplanes, which is why they hid it from the regulators. All the rest is just the consequences - the core crime is (and remains) inacceptable, which is why the corporate and engineering leadership should be facing murder charges.
Ideally in a death penalty State.
