At first, everybody pointed at the pilots, but the number of incidents was just to high to make it plausible.
First everybody (here) pointed at missing pilot training, piece of cake stab runaway...
Yes, it's true that MCAS was a design issue that didn't manifest itself until the Max had been in service for some time.
But there's no logic at all in asserting (at this stage, at least) that the fact the plug door problem only emerged six years after service entry means that it must therefore also have been a design issue.
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.
