from my uneducated perspective (pilot, no engineer) I would say it's even easier to "trim out" a bent FBW aircraft. There are no cables, pullies and poles to adjust to the new length after the bending. It's not uncommon that aircraft change their flight characteristic with age. But I would say Boeings are more bent than Airbus
