Fact is as well, that in at least one Airbus (QF72)

Clandestino, do you mean Airbus rushed to publish a
RED OEB just for fun ?
Also, as you mention the Malaysian 777 case, and so did others earlier, that incident is very different from the Qantas case :
- The upsets were AP as well as pilot induced.
- In the case of QF72 the airplane was nicely manually flown but the protection did the mess.
Now, to know if one simple (guarded) push button should be installed in the FBW Airbus in order to easily go back to the basic DIRECT LAW ... why not ?
Not a big deal, almost any other airplane fly in DIRECT LAW anyway, do they fall out from the sky ?
To me it would be a very simple way to make sure protections don't play a trick when in doubt ...

QF72 also demonstrates the Airbus FBW can also do what the pilot never told him to do.
